Thanked: 13234I am using a Coticule in that Vid and I am using a slurry...
On a totally dull Kamisori yes you are going to have to set the bevel but You want to be careful using low grit stones as they "Cut" deep into the steel on these...
You are going to be using a fair bit of pressure compared to honing a Western razor so I would at the very lowest start at around 4k-6k if I wasn't using a Coticule.. It is much better to polish more and cut less on these.. In fact one of the reasons I like the Coticule for setting these is they cut shallow and start with a nice haze finish... You can achieve almost the same by using a slurry on your Norton 8k too..
