In this video, we recap and also show some additional techniques for fixing a deformed Kanna blade and also talk about some tools that you can use to prevent unwanted damage to your Kanna.
It is really a matter of preference on how you wish to keep your tools operating well. Over my time working in carpentry and having spent quite a bit of money on tools, I want to try to keep them looking nice. This being said, I think it is important to know how to fix a Kanna blade and also how to keep them looking nice by using tools that will not adversely damage them.
I often purchase old tools and tried restoring them, whether there is rust or deformation, each tool is different and requires different repairs. I show in this video an Usui Kengo blade that I bought used and have been in the process of repairing. The previous owner probably used a steel hammer when adjusting his / her Kanna.
This video will show you the safest way to repair a deformed blade and also adjust the bevel so that it is optimal for usage. At the end of the video I show an assortment of hammers that range from wood to steel. I wanted to showcase that a steel hammer can cause excessive damage to a Kanna. However, hitting a Kanna with a steel hammer is not bad, it is really personal preference on how you want to treat your tools.
Thank you for watching.
