Thread: Kamisori ?

Who would be a master kamisori honer and where do I pick up one of those beautys

Check with Lynn and Don over at SRD first, also at Aframetokyo.com for the razors themselves... The classifieds here sometimes have them too, just ask for good pics before buying.. I have snagged a few off e-bay but I know exactly what to look for and only bid on the best ones, many are just junk...

If you get it from Lynn of course it will be set up, I really haven't heard anything good about the ones from Aframetokyo's honing there are a couple of us in the service section of the classifieds that advertise Kamisori honing...

What are some decet sizes to get I like bigger blades

Size is measured by the edge length mostly 45mm, 50mm, or 60mm (be careful as there are very small ones that were used for women's facial grooming too)

They are not sized spine to edge, in fact the spine is totally different on Kamisori

The 50mm is the most popular size and I just meassured my Iwasaki 50mm and in Western terms it is a 13/16 or 6/8+ but that really doesn't mean anything I just measured it for your info...

Does lynn have a 50mm sir

For a short time, SRD has the smaller 50mm version I believe. They have been out of stock for months. Act fast.

I wish I had the money but there worth it
