What did the Vikings use instead of cuttlery?

I saw a documentary as a child in Tanzania East Africa in the late '50s - as part of Pre Movie Trailer - where they showed the Vikings travelling on a Viking ship and were served meat and potatoes - the knives they used to cut the meat were sharp and very pointed -alomst dagger like . The meat they were served was very hard

and the ships crew members got into an argument with the chef and one of crew members threw the knife at him with the pointed end alomost killing him. The Captian and the Chef then 'rounded off' all the knives and thus was born the knife we use now - although we have become more civilzed and are able to eat the hardest of all the meats with the steak knives and do not complian!

Whether information on that documentary ws true or not , but it tickled my fancy and have been telling this story to all ever since
