The first knife was flint with a wooden handle but flint takes skill to nap . So then came obsidian this was sharp allready but was easy to brake . So then came bronz but this was soft and bent . So then iron this was strong but britale . So then came steel this was strong and flexibul but it rusts . So then it was stainless steel . This tuck millions of years . So i ask were can we go form here ? As it come to the end ? Ps please fell free NOT to coment on my spelling .
 
We will be able to run our finger along a surface (without touching it) and it will fall into two pieces. Quantum cutting. I'm applying for a patent, but every time I type it, my computer keyboard is cut into two pieces :)
 
A millennium from now, we will have cybernetics implanted in various parts of the body, holograms for visual aid for whatever we are doing, and nanites to do the actual work. As in nanites, everywhere in the air, and controlled at will by implants. So, you know, it might be as simple as designating a place to be cut, and watching it happen. Certain restrictions would apply, otherwise people would just go around cutting everything and everyone up like a bunch of psychopaths.
 
How many tools do we use today that we used a thousand years ago?

Not very many.

But the need to cut things still exists, and still will then. I don't know if it will be knives, and if they are I doubt they will be made of steel. Maybe not even made of metal.

Do you seriously think that our overlords will allow us to have sharp things in a thousand years? We will have been dumbed down and pacified to the point of being dairy cattle, standing around eating our cereal with plastic spoons staring at each other with blank expressions while being milked for a percentage of our labor, and we will be convinced it's in our best interest.

Stow it with the politics, otherwise the thread will get locked.
 
Ask me again in 999 years, by then I'll have a more accurate answer for you.

Otherwise - I would expect that we will still have the need to separate matter in the future. Whatever materials can be formed into shapes with thin edges that will hold the edge, will be formed into those shapes for use in that manner.

It may be that small cutting lasers will be embedded in handheld devices that could produce accurate cuts of a controlled depth, but you'd still have the heat issue. You don't always want to further cook your steak when cutting it.

1000 years is too short a time period for noticeable evolution to occur, unless it is self directed through the use of genetic research and/or augmentation through implanted technology. So people will still have hands to manipulate the environment, and there will still be soft things that need to be shaped, scraped, sliced, cut, carved, skinned, pierced, gouged, smoothed, and shaved. I figure hand-held tools that can do those things will still be around.

If I'm wrong, I offer a triple your money back guarantee for the full price I charged for this answer.
