I'm not sure why they have to be arrows. Why not knives or agricultural tools? You sometimes see sharpening marks on the stonework of medieval churches and they are always said to be made by the swords of passing soldiers (don't know why). A curved sickle would need a whetstone, but I suppose a convenient rock of the right type would do just as well for a straight blade if you didn't carry a whetstone.
