Knife and hatchet worn out in Milton

[Raptor-75]

Both my starting knife and Grey Mother's hatchet are worn out. Probably because the game automatically uses them to open cans of food without giving any indication that its putting wear on your tools.

I'm almost finished filling the fridge. Is it possible to find new ones or somehow repair them even though they are crossed out? Or should I restart?

I don't think you can repair them without at least having access to simple tools. You might though, there's some scrap metal in the bank and in the gas-station.

But if they're "RUINED", then they're done.
Can't be fixed.

I haven't made it past Milton yet, so I don't know if you're likely to ever find any tools or if there are new axes or knives later in the game, so I'd probably lean towards starting over and then making very certain I don't ruin my survival gear.

Same problem here, I broke my knife early on and now the hatchet is around 25% and it's freaking me out.
Simple tools are no help (found those), since only the Whetstone can repair bladed items.
Anyone know if one'll be available soon? I'm still doing quests for the Grey Mother.

The game used to allow you to select which tool to use to open cans. Did they remove that completely?

Give the Grey Mother something she needs in the Trust option, then talk to her about "Sharpening" topic, she will give you a whetstone and teach you how to keep your hatchet/knift sharp.

They did actually, not sure why. It uses a can opener if you have one, otherwise some other tool in your inv.

Too bad I only found the can opener after my other tools were destroyed.
