Can you post a picture of the hone?

Are you certain that it was designed as a dual surface hone? The reason that I ask is that some of the older hones seemed to have a better 'fill' on one side.

Could it be a coticule with a slate back?
It actually feels rougher to the touch.

I could try to post a picture. All I have is my camera phone though and it's not the best, but I can give it a shot once I get home.

And yep, I'm sure. It came with instructions saying it's two hones in one, which side to use first, etc. It also had a sticker on the side that said "Use this side first/Finish on this side" or something along those lines.
