Joe Knife.
Knives, scrapers and axes are about the oldest tools used by humans. We have absolutely no idea who first came up with the idea. The Stone Age people first had them well over one million years ago, and the first metal (bronze) knives date back some 6,000 years.

The use of items to cut things goes back thousands of years. The first tools were made from natural materials. It wasn't until man learned to forge copper, iron, and later steel that he could produce metal cutting tools. The ancient Egyptians used copper tools and knives and many ancient peoples did as well. We don't know who the first person was because it goes back so far in time.

The very first knife was likely a sharp bit of rock.

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.
