Glad you brought that up, Martin! I thought a Western grind Kamisori is one which has no scales, yet is ground like a 'Western' razor, symmetrical?

Something 'Western' about each!
Is the word 'grind' the telling difference?Last edited by sharptonn; 02-02-2017 at 01:40 AM.

I'm new to kamisoris. I thought a western kamisori was a one piece with a western grind. Wouldn't this be a folding kamisori because it has an asymmetric grind? Originally Posted by Martin103

You could call it a folding Wa-Kamisori.
'Wa' refers to Japan so the proper name for traditional assymmetric kamisori is Wa-Kamisori.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

It's all good as long as you know exactly what your getting.

Somehow I knew you would be along with the 'Wa', Oz! Thanks! Originally Posted by onimaru55
