How to Use Whetblades
Choose Affinity in Ashes of War Menu
Affinities allow you to add Passive Effects and modify Attribute Scaling via Ashes of War.
The whetstone and whetblades enable a submenu for choosing affinities when changing weapons' Ashes of War. You only need to make sure you have acquired any of those items when changing Ashes of War at a Site of Grace.
Special weapons like the Blasphemous Blade cannot have their Ashes of War modified. You will have to check carefully in the Ashes of War menu if a desired weapon's Ash of War can be changed.
Uncolored Ashes of War Allow the Most Affinities
Weapons using regular uncolored Ashes of War such as Vacuum Slice have the most available affinities you can choose from. This means you can choose from any of the neutral affinities like Heavy to special types like Blood.
Colored Ashes of War Have Limited Affinities
Choosing Ashes of War with already an inherent element or status such as Carain Greatsword are often limited to the specific affinities of their own (such as Fire or Flame Art if it physically applies fire) and default affinities such as Quality.
What are Whetblades?
Grants Default Affinity Choices
In the possession of whetblades, most Ashes of War will allow you to choose in adding afffinities that grant a weapon Passive Effects or modify its Attribute Scaling.
These are are invaluable key items to look out for if you are leaning towards a certain or build or if you want to maximize your weapon's potential.

Anonymous@Game8 almost 4 yearsHi, the Red-Hot Whetblade is found just past the enemy with a guillotine. From the bonfire just before the crucible knight fog, head straight through the farthest door past the soldiers with the flame throwers.
