Amazingly no huge chips on the cutting side. Took almost 2 hrs on 200 diamond hone to remove all of this. After facing, it's a great hone, I'm very happy with it. Brand is columbia, color is red brick. But dang, it was bad.

Looks good to me, from the photo, I would probably use it as a tool hone.
But maybe it's smoother than it looks. :shrug:
Wouldn't you rather use it like this?

Yes, that looks nice.:tu
Nice save!
Very nice save! As the saying goes, "There's no tool like an old tool!"
Good work. Looks nice. How does yiur diamond plate looks like now?
Just a little bit of wear.
That was lucky. Often there can be considerable damage done by one of these.
very cool!!! If I had it, Id use it!!
I ended up doing a lot of lapping on 600 grit wd sandpaper. The face was still too rough and the hone is so hard that it doesn't break in at all.
Hone was STILL scratching the edge. So I ran this over 4000, 6000 and 8000 polishing paper to finally get a consistant surface. The hone is just so damned hard it doesn't wear in at all. The flip side of that is now that's it's smooth, it will stay that way.
