Best Answer

Knifes were created for a lot of reasons. They were created for cutting the skin off of the hunters kill. They are used for skinning the scales off of fish or the skin off a snake. before knifes were invented people used their teeth to pull off the parts of the animal they didn't want. Cavemen invent knife like objects the took a long stone and use a rougher stone to sharpen the long one and they used that to cut things. But now people have upgraded to better way of making them. That way it is a lot easier for people to use them.

answer 2 Before knives, folk used the edge of shells as scrapers and cutters. They are a comfortable size and utility.

Stone knives are not difficult to make, and obviously occurred independently to many peoples. Arrow heads are a specialized form.

Flint and other siliceous rocks are particularly suited to making knives as they flake easily, and take a good edge. Obsidian (a volcanic glass) makes a spectacular knife.
