Overview
About the event
The evolution of knives has been a remarkable feat throughout the history of humans �?? from knives made of bone, stone and flint, to modern creations using titanium, bronze, iron and steel. Nobody can deny the knife is one of man�??s most useful tools �?? for cooking, eating, fishing, hunting, and not to forget the oh-so-handy Swiss Army knife.
National Knife Day has been celebrated each year for more than a decade, since at least 2011. The date that was chosen for observing National Knife Day seems to be associated with the Bowie Knife. It was on August 24, 1838, that a letter was written by Rezin Bowie, the brother of the knife�??s namesake, claiming that he (and not his brother) was the actual creator of the knife and deserved credit for it.
Whether spending the day sharpening knives, crafting a knife, or pulling out that collection of knives, National Knife Day is a great time to show appreciation for this ancient tool that is still relevant today!
