I will post some photos today. Thanks for all the input
During our meeting in Adennnes last autumn I had few hones which were behaving in simmilar manner as you describe from new. however after I relapped them on Maurizio's DMT and used them on knife steel is smoothened most of it out.
And the edges are beveled nicely ?
So here are some photos.
these are the dry stones - bout and rectangular

the right side - with the green swirly bits - seems rougher.
Have you tried honing on the bout? How does that feel?
That is almost definitely a Les Petas. Many have that swirly pattern.
very very smooth with the bout
