    Looks like it's been addressed. Craziness seems to be the consensus. Honing nightmare.

    Do not send it to me for honing! Cool looks do not always make sense for a using tool!
    Must been a knife guy what made it!!! Whole different ball game!

    It appears Classic Shaving has been drinking the Kool-Aid , they are now in their lineup . And it appears they have even partnered with Hart Steel in producing model with a traditional grind.

    And they've doubled the price and make the following claim...

    "The unique "dual concave grind" blades are hand ground by Joseph Bowen in his signature style, with enough concavity to still allow traditional honing (the "step" tapers to zero at cutting edge and the concave keeps it off the stone).

    There is such incredible ignorance here. Yes, the "concave keeps it off the stone," but what about the TWO spines?

    It might make a good scraper for scalding hogs although a bit spendy.

    So then we decided to put the stabiliser in the middle of the blade

    I didn't need a third reason to never spend my money or anyone else's with them again.
