Thread: How to Hone a Flat side?

Take a look at the bevel on the hollow side and the edge on the flat side with an eye loupe or a microscope and that might give you something to go with. IOW, if it isn't damaged and has the factory profile that will give you an idea of the intent of the design.

If so, would you do "side" flip "side" or would you hone the bevel first, and THEN polish the back? or visa verse?
That sort of thing.

But you said you only want to hone one side, right? To me that implies you do not want to do anything to the other side. Perhaps I misread something?
