The mystery item is:
A whetstone for sharpening knives.
This one belonged to my Grandpa Burnette. This was one of his tools that I was not allowed to mess around with because he was always afraid that I would drop and break it. Just about anyone can put an edge on a knife, but depending on how it is done, it will either last a long time or it will need sharpening again soon. Grandpa was very good at putting a nice, sharp and lasting edge on knives. Interestingly enough, my Grandma was even better!
