    OK got my "Maruichi" brand Nakayama Suita out .. the back is flat! i dont HAVE to lose the stamps!

    ok, so flatted it for a bit looked ok, but the kamisori felt a bit odd so i 'pencilled' the Nakayama .. flatted it

    major dip in the middle

    pencilled it again, flatted it again

    teatime i think

    im still undecided about the rounded-frontend issue

    whatever, i dont think ive ruined this piece, but im waiting on some strops to arrive

    SO so [so] far this project has accomplished several goals:

    ive got a working technique for lapping artificials with the new iWood diamond plate .. at
    #300 its ok

    but on Jnats i feel i want to go finer

    i recently acquired a mint Fallkniven DC521, which has a finer and quite large

    enough diamond side .. and the ceramic side works well as a bevel-setter

    ive played with various type honing strokes, theres a few of those about + i have my own + some togishi tricks

    but most importantly i got the unstamped side of my beautiful Nakayama lapped and put a old Henkotsu to it

    that was the endgame

    neither of em minded a bit

    right then .. traded a bit of fingerstone-material for 2 strops, one is a Roma no 46, says FINISH + SHELL HORSEHIDE on one side

    the other side seems shiny, is it used?

    the other one is a smaller German Diamond Edge No 4 which had been treated with a Thiers compound, he says it was too
    coarse, to remove it

    treating em both to Effax, which smells delightful

    and then a touch of camellia oil

    followed by glycerine, following advice on here:

    previously loved, but totally fine for my purpose [as a learner, im sure ill add to its scars]

    its 55mm wide .. wonder why its a No46

    current StateOfTheEdge

    perhaps time to excavate a shaving brush .. it does arm-hairs fine
