    Question Honing service in Japan

    Hello

    I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good honing services in Japan? I have a 8/8 Wacker to hone. Thanks.

    If you're close to Iwaki, there's a man with a knife shop near the Route Inn who hones razors. Sorry I don't know his name or the business name. Good luck!

    As far as I know in these latter days Iwasaki-sensei does not honing razors. But Ryuichi Mizuochi-san do. Both are from Sanjou City of Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

    maxim207 and JimR (Jim Rion) should know all the contact data.

    Hide-san AKA DrNaka should also know.
