    Yep there are a couple sharpening systems that use cut down bits of great hones.

    Since he has them he is right to keep the pressure light.
    Use an X type of stroke so the entire edge is honed.

    I would place them on a wet rectangular kitchen sponge so the sponge can flex and help keep the skinny hone flat
    against the razor. The sponge should not 'squish' too much and might make keeping a light touch easier.
    Place the spine on the stone first and let it all line up then bring the edge to the hone and stroke.

    A lot of the older natural hones are narrow yet are excellent hones and finishers.
    Just not as narrow as the Edge Pro folk cut theirs.

    Moving forward you will want full size hones but with caution and care use what you have,
    it can be made to work. Use a waterproof marker and make sure to mark each grit.

    In some cases the skinny side of hones or cut downs like these are used to rescue and
    hone abused or warped blades.
    You will get use out of them....
