Chisel sharpening Saturday, Japanese chisel

[Thread Killer]

 Sharpening a chisel is harder than I thought when you do it right. One was a Japanese piece.  I was able, (barely), to flatten the back on a stone, but the way Japanese chisels are made with the hollow back this may be the last sharpening.  My question is, when you hit the hollow part is the chisel ready for the garbage can?

It shows a method (and gives an explanation of how it works) to renew the edge of the chisel.

Good reply, Dan.

Great stuff! I saw a line, but stupidly thought it was just the honing process.  I realize now it is layered steel.  I normally don't do double bevels on chisels, I think it is proper in this case.  I am not a wood worker, just a sharpener, so this will probably go to a friend. Thank you, Dan.

Rich, this is a good topic, which really deserves to be in hand tools. I will move it on Tuesday to allow anyone almost ready to reply.

Thank you, Ken.
