| Description | The manufacture of whetstones belongs to simple archaic techiques. The manufacture was typical especially for the villages around the town of Vsetín in the past. Since the 1920s, the men of the Sucháček family have managed the techniques of manual whetstone manufacture. Because of the transformation of society and its needs within the second half of the 20th century, the Sucháčeks have become the only practitiners of that technique in the region that dominated the whetstone manufacture before. The technique applied by them did not undergo any significant changes; howevew, the social and economical conditions changed. The originally homemade manufacture has chaged into educational-entertaining gainful employment with cultural legacy of the past. |
