Nom commun
whetstone \wɛtstoʊn\
- Pierre à aiguiser, aiguisoir.
He’d also acquired a Ka-Bar Marine combat knife in a surplus store, and while he’d watched the streets the night before, he’d worked the seven-inch Bowie-type blade across a whetstone. There was something that men feared about a knife even more than a bullet.
— (Tom Clancy, Without Remorse, 1993.)
