So I get my new Swaty from the 'Bay this afternoon and examine it, only to utter the much-abused phrase from the iconic Oscar masterpiece Road House, "I thought you'd be bigger..."

Is my Swaty a dwarf, or is that the typical barber hone size?

Also, when I was testing the surface with a project razor, I noticed that the surface seems to be very coarse. I thought the 3-line Swaty was a super-finisher hone...but this feels closer to the 4k side of my Norton. I've attached pictures to aid in your superb dissection of my recent acquisition.
