Do you still use your waterstone? Have you tried sharpening your higanokami on the strops and have you tested them for thread cutting?
Before going with powder I form edge if nessesary using eather Diamond Eze Lap or Waterstones. I found similar as for Higonokamy problem with other japanese blade and also with bulat from Ivan Kirpichev (it is very interesting, it looks like it gain hardness in time - I dont have this problem few monthes ago when I just made knife).
This knife I currently testing was sharpened by 250 and 800 waterstones - it takes time, this why I prefer powder on leather.
I did not tested Higonokamy yet. Too much things I like to do - I need to work full time for this!
Thanks, Vassili.
