Today I fount this in an antique store. It is in pretty good shape but on the back (the side i would prefer to use) it has some scratches that worry me. They are not crazy deep, but deep enough to feel when I run my finger nail over them. I suspect someone used the hone to sharpen their dart points, or something like that.
If I was to try lapping this hone on wet and dry paper what grit would you recommend? Or is this impossible? I just worry that the scratches may damage my edge slightly.
