Such a craftsman enjoyed great respect in his tribe. Pieces of flint were used not only as knives and scrapers for processing animal skins, but also as axes for chopping trees and hunting. - Late Paleolithic (40-10 thousand years BC). A very ancient flint -bone knife, presumably Paleolithic -  Neolithic era The history of knives begins in the Stone Age. Already at that time, man was making tools and other objects from bone, horn or wood. Later he discovered a harder material - flint. A flint knife was made in approximately the following way: a piece of flint wrapped in a leather flap was firmly held between the knees. Using another piece of flint as a hammer, the knife maker struck the first piece of flint, knocking out the fragments of stone from the fixed piece of flint. The more experienced the knife manufacturer was, the thinner the flint fragments fell off. Such a craftsman enjoyed great respect in his tribe. Pieces of flint were used not only as knives and scrapers for processing animal skins, but also as axes for chopping trees and hunting. The word "Paleolithic" is formed from the Greek words palaeo - ancient and lithos - stone. The Paleolithic period, in turn, is divided into three time periods. - Early Paleolithic with the first recognizable objects made of stone. Objects from this period, dating back approximately 2.5 million years ago, have been found in Ethiopia and Tanzania. It is clearly visible that these stone tools were made by chipping off small fragments, the sharp edges of which were used for chopping, cutting and scraping. - Middle Paleolithic (180-140 thousand years BC). Objects of this period include stone axes and special tools such as scrapers, knives and daggers. - Late Paleolithic (40-10 thousand years BC). Objects of this period are bone and flint needles with an ear, piercing special-purpose weapons, for example spears, harpoons with prongs. Knives and scrapers of this period are increasingly made of flint, but now both sides of the knives are pointed. Wood was also used as the main material, but it was not preserved in the ground, like other organic materials. Prehistoric man was a hunter, fisherman and gatherer. Already about 1.5 million years ago, he used fire. Initially, the fire served him for heating and protection from large predators, and later for cooking. In the late Paleolithic, fire was also used to heat the stone, which facilitated its processing and provided better results. In 1836, the Danish archaeologist K. Y. Tomske divided the time periods into stone, bronze and iron. These names reflect the nature of the materials from which primitive tools were made. By the end of the 19th century, thanks to additional excavations, archaeologists gave such a definition of the periods of the prehistoric era; - Paleolithic, or early Stone Age, when tools were mainly made from pieces of flint. - Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, in which specialized tools appeared. - Neolithic, or the New Stone Age, when polished and polished tools made of flint appeared. The Mesolithic period. Based on archaeological finds, scientists called the Mesolithic period from the 10th to the 5th millennium BC. This period coincides with the end of the last ice age. Mesolithic man was still a hunter, fisherman and gatherer, but hunters had already begun to specialize in certain types of game, and the nomadic lifestyle disappeared as the climate became milder. Regardless of the type of material used, all the tools during this period were created purposefully. They were very diverse and were made for certain purposes, such as harpoon tips for fishing, animal figurines made of amber for religious purposes and, finally, flint arrowheads and axes of various shapes. The first agricultural implements, such as sickles, also originate in the Mesolithic period. The Neolithic period is the most recent period of the Stone Age, which lasted from about the 5th to the 3rd millennium BC. During this period, most of humanity switched to a sedentary lifestyle. People began to engage in agriculture and cattle breeding, ceramic products appeared. However, this dating of this period is valid only in relation to Europe. The fact is that settlements with faience objects were discovered in Japan, the age of which was 16 thousand years, and polished stone objects were found in Australia, the age of which is more than 32 thousand years. The first settlements built of bricks or logs also belong to the Neolithic. Tools belonging to the Neolithic period: arrowheads, axes and daggers were discovered in Scandinavia. In stone axes of this period, holes were made for the shaft, and the blades of knives were polished. Throughout this long period of time, the knife was a weapon of attack and defense, as well as an item of daily use. After killing the prey with arrows, spears, clubs, axes, it was necessary to dismember the prey for carrying. It was necessary to remove the skin from the prey and carefully remove the organs (the bladder was used to store water, and the intestines to store valuable fat). *** Please do not make hasty bids/buying - watch and read what you are buying.
