Cheers Mike . I always enjoy sharing a coffee with friends :)

I've followed this up with a new thread in the 'advanced honing' forum. Tons of pics http://straightrazorpalace.com/advanced-honing-topics/77845-iwasaki-kamisori-edge-restore.html

Thanx Jeff. Yes an older Fuji S9500 & a Veho 20-200x USB m'scope. The first lot of bevel pics are near the 200x end.


Thanx Stefan . Of course it is :gaah: I should have known that. Oh...

Next lot are pics after trying to reblacken the stamps & other patchy areas. The stamps came up ok after sanding them over but didn't seem to improve the rest much. I used oxalic acid to try...

Sad to see ain't it :(

Anyhoo.
These next pics are after about 3 hours on the wetgrinder reshaping the tip on a lapped, very slow 80 grit stone. Did some work on the nose bevel with a bastard...

This one was a bit of a mini disaster all over.
The owner had stored it on a window sill which invited rust. Even the maker's stamp had rusted. The edge was pitted & chipped & the icing on the cake...
