    Question Hone ID?

    I have a two sided hone that somehow found it's way into my things during various moves with my mom as a youth. I'm not sure of the age. I want to say she got it from her dad. Maybe it was my dad's, since her father was dead long before I was even born.

    As you will see, there might be a slight need for lapping before it touches a razor.

    The others sharing pic space were picked up "for kicks" for a combined $1.25 during a visit to the local army surplus.

    Looks like a dual grit carborundum.

    If you clean it I think it might be a coticule ...... yellow/blue. But I could be wrong, was wrong once before.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    It is grey and darker grey.

    What might the grit rating be for the two sides?

    Most likely something like 240 and 600 or in that area.
