Thread: Slightly off-topic but maybe useful knowledge

Ok I don't think anyone will do this with his razor if he has a better alternative. Still I thought this was so original and useful that someone might have a use for this technique.

My grandmother does the same on a plate, its a nice trick

My mother in law uses the back of a bowl

HI,

You can use the polished top edge of a car window as well.

Have fun !

Yeah, that works for deburring a blade and I used to do that all the time 20 or so years ago.
Then one day I was doing it to a Japanese style knife and sliped and cut a half inch deep slash across my thumb pad. That ended me doing that as a final after hone ritual.

If you are going to do that I would use a bowl turned upside down on the counter and keep your other hand away.

There are too many good hones out there to use so don't risk damaging your razor on a plate or bowl.

My wife does few strokes on the bottom of a coffee mug almost every time she takes a clean knife from a drawer. It really works.

I am looking for a Nakayama coffee mug .......

I've never heard of that before. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely try that out!

My knives are crying, why you want to show them scary pictures???
