the hone looks in pretty good nick ,on the black side it says king razor mfg co Indiana Pa
on the red side it says king midas barber hone special
I have a couple of questions 1 anyone know of these ?

3 which side is the cutting and which is the finishing
Any help with these questions will be greatly appreciated

Thanked: 346On my Dubl Duck hone, the dark gray side is cutting and the brown side is finishing. If you've got a microscope you can verify this on yours by comparing scratch patterns from the two sides.

The stone I have belonged to my grandfather born in 1886.
It has a recessed oval on the redish sidel that says King Midas Hone KING RAZOR MFG.CO. Indiana PA.
The stone measurs 5-1/2 x 2" . dark on the roughing side redish on the finishing side.
Pouch is in very good condition with the snap intact.
