Sharpening Stones?

[Primvs Pavlvs]

And my reason for thinking it not necessarily likely soliders would have had formal sharpening stones is exactly what I said- because just a round pebble from a stream would do. Why would you think there should be formal soldiers' sharpening stones?

:wink: Did I say soldiers?

But since you brought it up I would think since every soldier carried a tool for various chores there had to be sharpening empliments. Then theres always the possiblity your not near a stream that would produce a stone sufficent for sharpening.
