    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 ?
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Could it be a blank that was never ground?

    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

    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.
