Thread: Tang wraps on kamisori

Never thought they were a good idea...
The wrap on this one was fully sealed & tight.. I had to cut it off..
Ahwell, will make for some interesting patina

Ouch , I have been pondering this for a few weeks, no kidding, I've been debating it , I have a new traditional Kami being made for me and I was asking myself if that was a good idea with something around water. Thanks for posting this Oz. tc

That did not happen over a week's time.

Will you rewrap?

Oh wow. Regardless of the type of razor/kamisori, I always try to get no water on the handle or scales.

Would it be viable to get some strips of sting ray hide, and wrap it tight using some heated bees wax for waterproofing?

And if you clean the corrosion and then wrap the linen thread and then impregnated with epoxy resin. Maybe it would be better? It will be similar to the "miсarta".

In the real world, the handle should never see water

Yes, but once it happened, then you need to come up with something to protect the knob from corrosion.

Dip the handle in melted parrifin wax,Than wrap it,rust will never be an issue

Sugru works very well too.
