excellent recognition for our beloved knives. so many people misunderstand knives, and their true uses, both now and in the past... maybe this will help. forbes is a popular read too, so hopefully a lot of people will graze by it.

I'm kind of suprised the spear and the ax didn't make the list.

It's nice to see the media refer to a knife as a TOOL, something we knew all along.

The rifle #7 but how about the handgun? Don't know if the poll was biased but in my opinion the handgun, as the near perfect self-defense weapon should have at least been in the top five of humankind's tools.
