They used to be. The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Iron Age. Most of the old cultures, Greek, Roman, Egyptian and many others used copper and bronze for their tools. Iron came along, much harder and it became the metal of choice for weapons. Copper is too soft to make an acceptable knife.

How have knives developed since they were invented up till today?

The very first knife was likely a sharp bit of rock. Since then we added handles, changed blades to metal, changed metals several times, made folding knives, knives with more than one blade, combined knives with tools (Swiss Army Knives. Leatherman), made knives to go on guns (bayonets) made REALLY big knives (swords) and made electric knives (electric carving knives) Some knives are now made with blades that are ceramic- a form of stone. Hey- this is where we started!
