How do you go about honing that Sham? It's odd because there's no direct line from spine to edge.
I have no idea but what an interesting grind. No flexing while shaving with that blade. That looks like it would be a challenge to hone ? Have you shaved with it Sham ?
no i just got it clean it and this doesn't have any hone wear etc .looks like new.I am wondering is this straight razor or something else.
will try to hone in couple days.i have a lot razor to be honed before this one.
An experiment??????
A non-disposable?????
Look out, I'm crackin' myself up..................

Could it be a blank that was never ground? :shrug:
You could sharpen it the way you hone chisels by hand*. Lay the blade on the hone and roll it until the edge makes contact. Then find a way to hold it that maintains that position. Might be difficult to do normal laps, you'd likely have to do a bunch of strokes on one side then flip it over, do a bunch on the other side, and so on.

My first thought was "where is the frameback" ????
Could there be a spine piece that goes on there that is missing?????
I'd send it to Lynn to hone. It's only $20.00 :D
Look at the way that metal shimmers and flows! It's a Chronik, for sure. No need to hone those, they refresh their edge to shave-sharp perfection using the beams of the full moon. Just leave it on your window sill once every 29/30 days.
