hone for single edge?

$20121203_160540.jpgGents, I have stumbled on a Kriss Kross single edge razor hone? Does anyone know if there is value? Or is this common?

I had one of those but yours is nicer. I also had a Bakonit which uses a 3 way honing/stropping head. There were several makes and models of gizmos for honing and stropping SE and DE blades. On carbon steel blades they worked better than nothing in a situation where no new blades were available. Think rationing or remote homesteads. They won't put a factory sharp edge on a blade. They are even less practical for modern blades which have coatings and compound bevels. They are pretty cool gadgets though. If you decide to try it out on a dull blade post your results! BTW I think yours will also take DE blades.
 
i refurbished mine and i tried it out on a DE blade. wasn't impressed. mine is in pretty good shape collecting dust. i took a lot of pics and i think i may have started a thread on it a while back.

the same thing krossed my mind when I read this post (see what I did there?). Guess I'll put my boxers on back to front tomorrow in homage! One problem with the trousers though, if you drink too much beer you might not be able to get it out quick enough!!!!!!!!
