I haven't seen swaty with that way but have seen other barber hones(should have one) with similar notes. use another side first then labeled side(usually finer) . By looking at the stone you can 't figure it out because colors are both side same.hope this helps.

Thanked: 488Sham Nice hones!!! I didn't know C-Mon made one or did Swaty make it and put there name on it?
The Simmons Keen Cutter was double sided and had instructions for using both sides.
I found this one on ebay for a buy it now of $14.99. It has a pretty good chip on it but somebody may be interested. It has the box also.

Thanked: 488I remember Ron showing us this rare hone for DE blades. It is one neat hone. The blade attaches to the handle and the ball allows it to rotate and stay in the handle for use on both sides.

Thanked: 488Yep when Ron showed me he said they are pretty rare if I remember correctly. It just rolls along on that ball and articulates at the hinge to keep it at the right angle.

Thanked: 488You sure got a nice one. The green tint one looks to be little used and a brand I haven't seen before.

The instructions that they came with say that one side is coarser than the other. If we had a Hone Clubs sub forum it would be easy to find info like this. BTW, I have a few Swatys and all of them appear to be the same on either side including the NIB that came with these instructions.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
