    Default C-MON Hone

    Does anybody knows what side of a C-MON hone to use first? It's got a blue and a brown sides. The brown side is softer and thicker than the blue side.
    I guess one of the sides is to finish, but what about the other one? Is it to set a bevel or a medium grinder? Thank you.

    Not sure. If you have a means of magnification you could try a few passes on one side and look at the edge, then a few passes on the other side and look again. If it improves the edge or just the opposite you will have your answer either way.
