    Default Kamisuri question

    Ok guys i have just got my first Kamisuri ,it had never been honed but i have started to hone it with a bbw because i didnt want to go to coarse on it.So the bbw is working but its taking a long time its nearly there but not quite ,would a 1000 or 2000 grit synthetic be ok to speed things up a bit and get the bevel set or should i just be patient and keep on with the bbw.Here are some picks of where i am up to any advice would be great thanks,there is a little spot on the front of the blade and the heal of the front of the blade does not even look like its being hit by the hone.

    Can you get a slightly different angle Pic of the Non-stamped side...

    Something just doesn't look quite right there, it almost looks as though the entire side has been honed away..


    Here are some threads that Oz did that have some great pics and info too

    That Kamisori has a lot of hone wear, you should have a hollow grind along the whole blade. Right now it is very possible you will have to deal with some sticktion on the hones(especially higher grit ones) from the larger flat area on the Omote.

    Yep, the non stamped side could do with a little fix up!
    It can still hone up fine but it will be easier with less metal on the hone.

    Here's how I fixed one of mine;

    A diamond tool and some tape if I should slip.

    Can you show what you did with the tool?
