    I have no experience with kamisori. I would not however say the word mint when used to describe an object is a objective term. If you look it up in a dictionary you are given a very clear definition of what the word means.

    If the seller stated that it was NOS. If the seller stated it was in mint condition I would not leave a positive feedback for that said seller based on the pictures you have posted. That is a used blade look at the honewear. I do not think the question is if the blade can be honed, used and would do a good job. The question you are asking is was the sellers description false based on the pictures you have shown us. In my humble opinion the sellers description is false.

    I wouldn't say "mint" is a personal view at all, mint is mint and nothing else.
    Then I don't know about this kamisori and how the smith once set the bevel the first time.
    Any more pictures?

    to your question when the Kamisori is finished, well when it can't be reground anymore to hollow the omote.
    Yours has ways to go if you want to regrind it.

    The razor is "serviceable" not "mint".

    Cheers Glen, that's my thoughts too. Thank you All, for your input, much appreciated!!

    PS
    No more pics, that makes this case any clearer anyhow and I've returned the razor and I got a refund, but approx 20 usd less than what I payed, + minus () registered shipping from my end, which was over 20 usd.

    If the seller described that razor or my razors glen posted the thread too I would have returned it as well. Regardless of "opinion" of mint, no one would hold that and say "yup, definitely mint condition".
