Modern Marvels. Axes, Swords, and Knives

Description

Blade implements such as axes, swords, and knives have been a part of civilized man's journey since the Paleolithic age roughly two million years ago. In those days, sharp tools were chipped off of flint or obsidian to create knives for skinning hides, cutting vegetation, and hunting animals. With the discovery of metallurgy, people were able to forge stronger, more versatile blade implements out of bronze, iron, and eventually, steel.
