There is an old sharpening wheel I have from my father's place. I think I tried to count the rings recently in the large,heavy sandstone wheel and it was over seventy. At the rate it wears down with the sharpening of hoes and farm implements, it should last well into the next century, long after its metal stand has rusted away and we too, are long gone.
This very stone could very well have sharpened swords from the late,great war of Northern Aggression. We can only imagine at this point.
