https://nationaltoday.com/national-knife-day/On National Knife Day on August 24, we celebrate one of humankind’s very first tools. This is the day to appreciate the knives that we use on a daily basis. Knives have been made of bone, stone, and flint, and today, they are made using titanium, bronze, iron, and steel. We use knives for cooking, eating, fishing, hunting, and a host of other tasks. The day is celebrated by showing off your chopping skills, buying a new set of knives, and even comparing and swapping your knives with other like-minded people. Doesn’t matter if you are a skilled fisherman or a chef, National Knife Day is a celebration for everyone who’s ever used the tool.
