Probably more of a rules question than a society question but you use it to sharpen your weapon. Gives a +1 damage bonus after 15 minutes of work and it doesn't work on magic weapons. Small, cheap, but falls out of fashion.
Looking at the page now, yeah its only one hit. Its cool at first level though! Free +1!
for the 1 silver cost, is the cheapest +1 damage I've ever seen :)
Level 1 archers, who should not be using bows before they can buy their mwk composite (+X str) bow, sharpened chakrams are the bomb. You can keep 4-5 of them sharpened at a time, ready to go.
Oh, I wasn't implying to use them on arrows. That would not work at all.
I was implying fresh level 1 archers should never spend their initial 150gp on a bow. They are going to have to replace it with a mwk one soon enough, and bows are expensive as far as weapons go. Any archer characters I start with I just get them chakrams instead. They will hold you over the 1-2 adventures you need to do to purchase your best bow.

If you tie a string to it, it acts as a weather gauge:
If it‘s wet, it’s raining
If it is swinging back and forth, there are high winds
If there is snow on it, it’s snowing, etc.
You can also use it to determine how deep pits, etc are by using said string, tossing/dropping the whetstone and then measuring the string that was let out.
Tied together they make a fine bolo.
In the hands of a Halfling, it’s a weapon.
Several of them can be used to weigh a net.
If you strike them together in rhythm, they make music. Rock music.
There’s no end to the uses of a whetstone.

It gives mr. fighter something to do while he's on watch.
THANKS! I couldn't find it anywhere
And it does work on my 'magic' weapon - Arcane Strike
It works as long as the weapon is not inherently magical. If you use arcane strike on a masterwork longsword, it would still work.
If you drop it, it gives Thor a headache!
(I think he may have a piece of whetstone stuck in his head or something)
You do NOT want to give Thor a headache!

The ninja PC in the campaign im currently running (currently Level 7) is using it all the time on his two wakizashi.
Great little idea, Bronn approves.

Whetstones also actually work on piercing weapons irl, so only for slashing is rubbish.

While practicing his haiku on death and suicide?

Nah, he spends his downtime ruining the reputation of the kitsune druid of the party.
Lol, how does he do that?
