Stropping is surprisingly easy, x strokes.

Stropping is easy. Honing is a little more challenging.

I've seen pictures of the SK2 and SK3, They're similar in design, but the rate of smile decreases as the number increases. They may be next on the radar.

There's a chap on the UK forum who's just had his three rescaled. He's got an SK-1,2 and 3.

There are other R.Saito SK out there. Here is one of them

Yes, I think that you can sharpen, just more time.

Just rolling x-strokes all the way, not big deal. For me, because I hone with tape, the biggest challenge is to tape the spine lol.

As Stefan says, rolling cross strokes are fine. I found that the razors encourage a scything action - I'll probably need a few more uses with the number 1 before I get the full benefit.

The razors above were scaled by me for a member in the UK - I liked them so much that I bought the two below.

I agree, scything action is the way to go when using that one.

Sooooooo..... Any one know where I can find one or two or three?
