Mafia: The Old Country – How to Sharpen Knife on Whetstone
Knives in Mafia: The Old Country can be sharpened using a whetstone. Here’s how to do it.
How Knife Sharpening Works
Equip your knife, then press Square on Xbox or R on PC while holding it to restore sharpness.
Sharpening restores your knife’s sharpness bar, which affects lock-breaking, stealth kills, throws, and takedowns. A full sharpness bar ensures your knife works at peak efficiency.
Only sharpen when the bar is completely empty to make the most of your limited whetstones. Using one too early wastes its durability.
Where to Find Whetstones
Whetstones are rare loot items found scattered in the world. Look for them in open areas, buildings, or lootable containers. Press the interact button when near one to collect it.
Because they’re uncommon, it’s worth memorizing their locations and returning when needed.
Knife Sharpening Tips
Save whetstones for when sharpness is gone.
Avoid unnecessary knife use to keep durability longer.
Keep at least one whetstone in reserve for missions that require stealth kills.
Final Blurb
Sharpening your knife in Mafia: The Old Country is simple but resource-dependent. Find whetstones, wait until your sharpness bar is empty, and restore your blade’s edge for top performance in stealth and combat.
