A HUNTING KNIFE IS A TOOL

Knives have been used since the earliest days of humans. They have been used as HUNTING KNIVES and as tools for carving other tools and making other nessesities of the time. In the early days of HUNTING KNIVES they were made of bone, then stone. Now we have the technology to use steel and othe exotic metals. Custom Knives are made today for all kinds of uses and the durability is built into them to meet the need.
