Issue spears, swords, shields, whetstones, and bows, for today we march on Kadrug at the sluice gates!"
"Si'Wren of the Patriarchs"
Roland Cheney
There are whetstones for sharpening the steel spear and battle-ax; there is the stone of the "flint-and-steel" fire machine; and of course stones are employed as seats, in constructing terrace walls, in dams, and in the building of various inhabited structures, but that is all.
"The Bontoc Igorot"
Albert Ernest Jenks
The axes are kept keen and sharp by whetstones collected and preserved solely for the purpose.
