I hadn't even considered using the front but now that I look at it there is an X pattern on the clear side !!

So it IS a two sided hone??

That one at the link you posted sure looked like it had been used on the front.

Anyone else have thoughts on this???

Glass hone backed with coticule ?

Here I thought I was cool because I finally had a coticule and now I could hone with the big dogs.

I feel like I've found something that has been missing from me my whole life and I never even knew what it was.

I'm so happy....
