Re: [Low-Tech] Were the rules for bronze weapons ever updated?
Why is that? I'm no smith, but I routinely sharpen steel knives not with super-hard steel files, but with rocks. The waterstone style are quite soft (as rocks go). Sandstone seems to be a popular material for making grinding stones intended to work on steel, even in modern times. It's perfectly okay for the grinding stone/wheel to be consumable. (It's not like a smithy isn't going through a much larger weight and volume of other consumables to do its work.)

No you don't. If you were to use a file, then yes this is the case. However, grindstones are a thing, and they are not harder than the steel they are used to grind. The stone wears faster than the steel, but it still removes metal.

Guys, I'm not sure why I forgot grindstones.
