Players can sharpen their weapons and improve their durability by using Whetstones in Mafia The Old Country. Here’s how to get them.
You can die in many ways in 2K’s latest Mafia The Old Country. However, the developers still give players many weapons to fight back, such as knives. But a blade is of no use if it is dull, and the same applies in the game. Weapon durability is a key mechanic in The Old Country.
As you use your knife more on enemies, it degrades over time. To fix that and restore your weapon to its former glory, you will need Whetstones. This resource can be rare in the game, but in this guide, we will tell you how to find and use it.
How To Find Whetstones in Mafia The Old Country
Players won’t be able to find Whetstones in every nook and cranny in Mafia The Old Country. The title is narrative-focused and does not feature an open world, so resources in the game are scarce, and developers hand them out selectively. The only way to get a Whetstone in the game is to start a mission. Every time you start a new chapter, you get a new Whetstone, as simple as that. In addition, it is sometimes possible to come across this item by looting dead bodies.
Usually, a Whetstone can keep your weapon in top condition during the entire mission. But we still advise using it on your knife before your weapon gets dull.

How To Use Whetstones in Mafia The Old Country
As we mentioned, knives in Mafia The Old Country have a durability mechanic. Since guns can run out of ammo if you are not careful with them, the developers made knives degrade over use to balance both weapon types. If your blade becomes completely dull, it will be pretty much useless in a fight. To make sure that does not happen, you have to keep certain things in mind.
The first is how to restore your knife by using Whetstones. To do that, simply equip your knife and press X/Square for consoles or R for PC. This will bring the sharpness back to your knife and make it suitable for combat again. Use Whetstones whenever you feel your blade is degrading, especially before a stealth mission or a fight.
The second is the knife of your choice. There are several different knives in Mafia The Old Country, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some blades will have more damage output during combat, while others will last longer. If you want to preserve your Whetstones and use them sparingly, we recommend going for a knife with high durability, such as the Stiletto.
