Gerber paring knife on a coarse Japanese natural and a garage sale stone I suspect is an Arkansas.
My Higo is going to be featuerd in a Japanese TV show, so I figured I'd dress up the edge a bit.
Okudo Hon Suita
What is this beautiful stone?
It is a Higonokami knife, not a razor - it's sort of a general purpose pocket knife.Tell us about the straight razor please!
The program is about products from the Kansai region that are liked/loved/used by non-Japanese people around the globe.In what context will it be on tv?
C.V. Heljestrand MK 4 Just received this blade Today .I was surprised by what nice shape she was in .I think she may even be NOS . .When I checked the factory bevel out it was perfect .Small and even .I just gave her a quick refresh on my J-Nat .50 Laps to remove oxidation and impart a J-Nat feel to the edge .Shave was wonderful .Edge felt smooth as silk and cut like a Samurai sword .
