Knives are on the the oldest and most useful tools. Evidence of knives has been discovered by archeologists who have studied the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Primitive knives were made from sharp stones and wood pieces.
Civilization advanced with the discovery of metal as did the knife. Knives with metal alloys and combined metals were produced, evolving into the stainless steel blade that is so common today.
There were knives made for men, knives for woman and knives to be used by both sexes. Many purposes were served. Knives were used as weapons, tools and eating utensils. As an eating utensil, they were used to pierce food then raise it to the mouth. I have seen this in old cowboy movies.
A knife was a symbol of bravery. Warriors decorated these proud possessions first with feathers and then embedded gold and silver design into the knives. Knives hold religious significance for some people, even today.
