I recently got a 40 - 50 yr. old Usuba from a fellow in Hawaii. Not the greatest packing job - the blade was best a little and it's seen its fair share of abuse. I got the blade straightened out and am in the process of thinning and reestablishing the secondary bevel. How far up the blade is normal? Pictures of new ones are not a big help as this blade has been sharpened down some - it's 1-9/16" wide.
I struck a line 3/4" up from the edge and am using it for a reference as I thin.
Advice is always appreciated.
