    It's a Kai brand Combination hone. The top (light side) is labeled " middle Finishing" and the bottom "Coarse". The bottom is 400, the top is 1000.

    It's made on contract for Kai by another maker, Suehiro I believe.

    Perfectly fine for knives, pretty good actually, and maybe for repairing sad razors.

    Zelenbakh,

    More than some, less than most.

    I would urge you to read my blog Eastern Smooth or email me at jdrion (at) gmail.com if you have specifc questions.

    Or check out the forum at talks.guns.ru, there's a lot of guys there who talk about hones and they've translated a few of my blog posts and articles into Russian there.
