Abrader

Abraders are sharpening stones. Made of flat slabs of relatively soft stone, such as sandstone, they are used to sharpen tools such as stone knives, jade celts and axes. Qithyil villagers would have used them constantly to sharpen tools for household tasks like woodworking, carving, sewing and cutting.
