I have a Swaty hone that is SUPER smooth- alomst glass-like on both surfaces of the hone. Is it supposed to be so smooth?

Shoudl I lap it? I was planning to use wet dry sandapaper 325, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 grits (on a glass plate).

any suggestions / comments to help out this noob would be very much appreciated.
