Thread: Wostenholm

I though as a pipe it will take a good edge, i was thinking of honing it although I have the hones not sure if I have the skills for this one... I may enquire around this area or keep it in the draw till such time as I feel I can takel it..

Excuse the basic question but does regringing mean making the wedge side into a hollow?

You'd have to regrind both sides of the blade and turn it into a hollow ground if you were to do that. You'd have to do both sides unevenly, such that you create symmetry on either side. But again, that might not be necessary. You may be able to hone it up...might try posting your pics in the Honing forum asking how to hone a microtome. Some of our honing experts on this side of "the pond" might be able to provide some insight for you.
