As a knife nut, I think is pretty amazing. It is a very cool article, with great pictures of a 'SAK' from the Roman Empire. I would not have thought such precise tooling would be possible back then. I should not have underestimated them. They were the USA of their day, with all the good and evil that brings with it.

And of course, the article also mentions a make-up box for women which was made almost 3000 years ago. Technology aside, amazing (and kinda sad) how nothing has changed!!

Don't complain about the media's incorrect SAK ID. We should be grateful that they didn't identify it as a Roman Army griptillian.
