I have a Pike Newshell Swaty, so I assume the word swaty means something and is not a brand name? I assume my Swaty is a finishing stone too? I'm curious. Mine came with the original directions and box, so it was pretty cool. It says:
Lay the blade flat and draw it, edge foremost, the length of the hone. Do not lift the blade but roll on its back and reverse the motion. It is immaterial whether blade is held diagonally or straight across. Five strokes are usually sufficient. Light pressure only in needed. Wipe off hone with damp cloth every time after using; this removes all accumulation of steel. After honing always finish on a Pike Newshell Strop, the proven leather for razors.
