Razors traditionally have a hollow chisel grind – I’ll cover that soon, and something with a shop tour and some tools is in the works also.

@Wolfgang – edge geometry comin’ up. I haven’t forgotten about something on maces also…

I complete agree with thorr-kan, as soon as I saw the pic, I thought it was an instrument for shaving – have you tried shaving with it? :)

I’m really glad that you’re back with a new host, your posts are the reason I subscribed to Kobold’s newsletter and I’m always excited when it’s in my inbox!!

You should do a series of posts about the tools you use and your methods and processes. I bet it’d be really interesting!

Thanks!

My site was down while I switched hosting services. If you get a bad one, well, it stinks!

I think the frankenstein kiridashi came out pretty good for something so simple.

Thanks!

Anyway, good to see your site updated, I must say I really like the frankenstein kiridashi.
