    Default Slightly warped

    I have a nice Wilkinson straight that is slightly warped. Not much but nevertheless easy to see. The seller didn't mention it. I'm wondering if it can be honed? The blade shows little evidence of use and I'm thinking perhaps that's because it was too difficult to sharpen. All advice appreciated.

    It depends how much the warp is. If it's very slight it should hone up the same as any other razor with the same technique. If the warp is enough so the razor won't sit flat and kind of rocks even slightly either a narrow hone or a rocking motion as you hone on a wider hone should do it.
