Hi guys,
Bought my first kanna the other day. Been going through the set up process. I bought this one because it was apparently more set up than most. It's been fairly pain free so far, the blade was quite flat and I've been able to keep a good hollow, the chipbreaker had a good bevel already established and sits flat on the blade.
I've been scraping away at the high points where the blade is seated and bit by bit I've got the blade just protruding now.
My problem is that the chip breaker sits a long way back from the blade edge and it doesn't seem to fit beneath the metal bar (osae-bo?) without a lot of force, it naturally gets caught just behind its own bevel.
What's the best way to go about proceeding? Not sure if this is a common problem. I could either beat down the mimi on the chipbreaker so they aren't angled as steeply, or I could just run the chipbreaker over my stone (thus grinding down both the mimi and back of the bevel)?
I also noticed that the chipbreaker doesn't have the one middle contact point on the metal rod that I believe is desirable. Is this a huge problem?
Let me know if you need some more photos for explanation!
