kikoboshi Japanese straight razor

Looks like a wedge to me. Appears to be symmetrical, a Kamasori is asymmetrical IIRC.

I see you're in Elizabeth, I used to live in Kearny. If you ever feel the urge for a tattoo go see Ron Lopez at Ron's Tattooing on Westfield Ave. He is a world class tattooer. Not always the friendliest guy to strangers, but a great tattooer.

That's funny you mention tattoos I get mine done in Elizabeth Attachment 188869

Yes, it was all hand sanding. At the time there were two of those on the bay at the time but one of them had a lot of hone wear & was more expensive. I'm in the process of honing this one right now & it is getting sharp already. I got a 45 STAR REITO HITACHI YASUKY with it that had a very small chip in it but I have already worked it out on my DMT 325, not by bread knifing it either but by holding the edge at about a 45 degree eangle & sliding it sideways each direction, reversing the angles as I changed sides & it only took a few strokes to remove it. I forgot to take before pics of the chip but it was enough to hang a fingernail. I am also in the process of honing it too & will show it when I'm done.

I made a comment on Christmas day that was wrong & I did apologize to a couple of moderators on here for it because someone else started it but I commented on it which was wrong of me & I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong so you all will never see any distasteful comments from me again! I'm very sorry for it!:shrug:

There is a dedicated thread here to celebrate the art of the Tattoo. blalack55, some very nice work you have there, heavily tattoed myself, would be great to see more of that.
