sharpener with medieval swords
a member commented in another discussion that some medieval swords came with a steel hone in their scabbards.. this got me very curious.. i have never seen such an example of a medieval weapon with a steel sharpening hone.
has anyone seen an example of this.. or of any other honing device in a sword sheath (i have seen a long narrow sharpening stone in the scabbard of a hewing knife or hunters chopping knife from the 1500s.)
