Pike Swaty feels like two-sides
Hi All
I'm new and was reading about the Swaty hones. I just bought a Pike Swaty on eBay that is barely used or not used at all. I had felt a very distinct difference between the two sides. The side with the logo is slicker, the other side feels more rough. I can't see the dual-composition look on the edge as on the Norton 4000/8000, but this definitely feels different on each side.
As someone said, maybe one side has an application of a thin layer of some compound to change the grit?
Or maybe my fingers are just not very accurate, another possibility!
