why do you like knives so much?

Why do I like knives? Believe it or not, I don't get asked that very much.

Easy question to answer, though.

Knives are man's oldest tool. The one from which all others were derived. We have what we have as a society, because of knives.

From the first sharpened rock, to the most modern hyper alloy out there, man was born of the blade.

"When a man picks up a knife, there's an old memory from the collective unconscious that surfaces. A knife is an atavistic experience. It was man's first tool and weapon. Man was chipping flint into cutting edges before he invented the wheel. No matter how sophisticated we become, a knife takes us back to the cave."

Knives are indeed man's oldest and most important tool. There is a natural connection that man has with blades. Those who don't feel it have been brainwashed and are too far removed from their origins

Well said. I work with tools alot at my job, and appreciate primitiveness amid all the high-tech.

"Crude but effective", "simple but effective" how many times do we hear that but do we always appreciate the extended meanings behind it?
