Notes
Sharpening Steel is a crafted metal rod used for honing tools to a finer edge, produced via the Sharpening Steel recipe. It is tagged as both a Part and a Product, meaning it can serve as a component in advanced crafting or be sold as a finished good on the player economy. Storing a stack of Sharpening Steel is lightweight at 100 g per unit, making it easy to keep on hand for repeated sharpening needs. If you rely on high-tier tools, keeping a supply of Sharpening Steel in your stockpile ensures you can maintain peak tool performance without delays.
