I've made a grand total of 2 guthooks, but I ground (filed) from both sides. Either will work. I feel that removing material from both sides, having the edge centered instead of offset, may help protect the edge from accidental impacts, but it really doesn't make that much of a difference.

I like symmetry, I guess...
