Thread: Micortome Question

I haven't tried to use one leaving the blade as a microtome but I did hone one and put a bevel on the wedge side. I have shaved with mine a few times and it is real good. Here is a post reviewing it. I don't know about shaving with one if your bevel is on one side only. If I was to reset the bevel I would use 4 rather then 3 pieces of tape on the wedge side.

IME when I have a blade that isn't making full contact with the hone through the stroke I use the marker test to figure out what stroke will work. If you are already doing that and cannot find a stroke that works then wait for the honemiesters and they will undoubtedly give you something to go with.
