History of the hunting Knife

Image
Knives have been used as weapons, tools, and utensils since prehistoric times. However, it is only recently that knives have been designed specifically for tabletop use. The hosts did not provide cutlery to their guests in the Middle Ages in Europe. Most people wore their own knives in sheaths attached to their belts.
