    i have used actual stone which says three line swaty.
    This swaty is a lot coarser then test three line swaty.
    You can use the stone even set the bevel .very quick cutter. grit in comparison will be 4k level
    3 line text swaty won't be able to set the bevel.

    According to Swaty, the short hone (5-1/8x2) is "for private use," the long hone (8x2) is "for barbers' use." (Sears, Roebuck & Co Catalog, 1912)

    (EDIT: The hone illustrated in the catalog is the "Franz Swaty / Marburg Austria" two line hone.)
