Whetstone
A polished piece of stone specifically cut to reduce damage of tools.
Notes
A Whetstone is a crafted sharpening stone used to reduce tool damage and extend their working life before needing replacement. As a general Parts and Product item, it fits into early-to-mid game material loops where tools start seeing heavy use. Stocking a few whetstones in a public store can help the whole town keep its picks and axes working longer, reducing the labor and material cost of constantly producing new tools.
