Both are tamahagane, I remember seeing this kanji often, bat didn't put it in my kamisori maker list don't know why.
You will certainly enjoy, keep us updated.
Sound! Yeah, there's enough meat on those left to hone up good ...
If you check out the 4th picture in, the back, see the lines at the edges of the razor? Once they start to meet, the razor is done. They're miles apart and should hone up fine.
Good catch! Enjoy!
He might be out of action anyway based on his stock levels across the board, but advice taken on those made by him. I was probably looking more at NOS stock or recommended manufacturer for new.I bought one of his new kamisoris a couple of years ago which he makes himself, but it wouldn't take an edge. So I couldn't recommend him.
Get yourself a new Iswsaki Kamisori from Japan for best price, will last you a lifetime. Made by the top Kamisori in Japan (traditional)Can any Kamarisori users give me any advice about buying a used Kamisori? I've seen a few for sale quite reasonably (<£50) but don't really know what I'm looking at.
Can anyone recommend (preferably from experience) a reputable source of used Kamisori or failing that, what to look out for or avoid?
Many thanks in advance.
You could use para cord, leather boot lace or leave as is....Well, received this. Looks in good nick. Strong magnetic base. Needs an edge refresh.
Should I 'wrap' it? What sort of cord?

That looks great, if you decide to go for the leather boot lace idea soak the leather for a while and then wrap it around and as the leather dries it will shrink and really grip on, just a thought.Well, McGuyver Alert! Butcher string, waxed. I knew all that Fly Tying practice would come up handy one day. That'll be enough to give me a good grip on it when trying it!
I'm not sure it'll hold forever, the handle being thinner at one end measn the thing will want to slide down. Unless I add glue (meh)
