knives.

Knives are used all the time either when you are cooking or hunting game. Knifes can be made from many different materials including titanium, stainless steel, high carbon steel, and flint... We need knives for many tasks like what i said before cooking like chopping vegetables or cutting meat, we also use knives to use as a weapon. The knife is a very efficient and stealth-like weapon as it is small and you can hide it and knives can have many different blade styles for many applications for cutting or for shredding, or a combination of the two. Their is also double sided blades for piercing. Knives that have very high carbon are very sharp, because te higher the carbon the sharper you can get your knife, in the older days men used to shave with highly sharpened knives but today we adapted to the razor that has a really high carbon thin blade. In ww1 and in ww2 we have used knives to do everyday military tasks either to kill the enemy when out of bullets, to cut the wire fences or boat ropes, or even shave. The most popular knife during ww2 was the Ka-bar, the Ka-bar is very affective as it has a double side blade at the tip for piercing, it has a serrated edge for shredding or for cutting rope, and it has a flat sharp blade for cutting and slashing. The Ka-bar is also my favorite knife for those reasons and because it looks like a cool knife and it is a part of history. Thanks for reading my post and keep coming back to read the ones that come.
