There is not a doubt that your knife is your most basic necessity when going to camp. It has been a long time that man started using this essential tool. Currently, knives are made of iron or steel. Before they were only made of flint, then developed into copper, then bronze. The oldest known knife believed to be over 2.6 million years can be seen in the dry riverbed of the Afar Region of Ethiopia. Knives fashioned from volcanic rock birthed the evolution into the tool it is today. Knives were used for hunting, building shelters, providing and preparing food, and in general, survival. The earliest sharp bladed tools were made using a method called knapping, the percussion flaking of rock. Several knives from the past were made out of obsidian stone.
A tool for attacking, hunting and eating were among the knife's functions. During the 15th century, those who were not permitted to carry firearms, store their knives in a scabbard on their belts. They used their knives for eating. Knives were made into sets composed of three - one big knife for hunting, two small ones for peeling or cutting. These were stored in one scabbard. The use of knives as a hunting tool, diminished as they progressed more as an eating device besides the spoon and fork.
Knives were created out of wood, bone, stone, flint or shell up until 100 centuries have gone by. During this time, copper was discovered and became the main material to make knives. In the past 5 millenniums, steel took the place of copper. Knives today have evolved into ceramic, carbon fiber or titanium as a result of advancing technology.
Knives have become a collector's item. It has become a huge business for the unusual designs. These knives are specially sorted according to their uses such as hunting, military, camping, multi-function, sports, fishing and pocket tools. The most exceptional finds are usually seen in auction houses.
To keep your knives in the best possible working condition, store separately in leather sheaths to prevent rusting, keep clean and free of debris, and an occasional drop of oil on the joints of a folding knife will keep the action smooth in opening and closing. "Walks and Talks well", that is what the elders used to say about when your knife can still click. Keep knives away from children. Store it properly. Do not use an electric grinder to sharpen the blade. Avoid putting the knife in your pockets with loose change because this might damage the knife's handle and bolsters.
A friend of mine collects knives. He has all sorts of knives you can think of, but the most remarkable piece is his designed custom-made knife patterned with inlaid turquoise and coral. All the knives he collected are not only for display, he uses them too especially when he goes to camp. However, the turquoise and coral knife remains behind the glass.
