    Default Kamisori Question

    For those of you that own Kamisori;
    How long is it overall and how long is the blade? Would also like to hear from those of you who have made fixed blades. Just gathering facts and ideas here for my next project........please don't tell my wife........

    Brian, two things:
    1. Is the second one a full wedge?
    2. Good Lord man! That's not a shaving instrument, that's a small hatchet!!

    Ok, one more.
    3. What's the wrap on the first one?
