Simon Bowbar from Prehistoric Bronze explains the bronze forging process of creating a prehistoric knife. This specialist skill is rarely practised in the modern day and gives us insight into the life of our Iron Age ancestors.

I’m always so amused by how little knives have changed over the thousands of years. You know it’s a well designed tool when ones from thousands of years ago look just like modern ones

same with saws, there's one they pulled out of the river Witham at Lincoln, around 4,000 years old, looks like it was made yesterday. I don't think I've seen a nicer hand saw.

If I understood correctly, we have a group trying to recapture the skills in a few years, that took hundreds of years driven by necessity. Worthwhile? Definitely! The way humanity is going, we will soon need all the help we can get.

My friend who is the crazy archelogist gave me the bronze knife wchih he made. At first I was consider whot I can made with it? Bronze? Soft and unmodern material. But, when I sharped the edge it turned out to be very useful! Now I'm using this as my kitchen knife.

That was a very interesting video. I wonder how well a bronze knife will take an edge and hold it. You have inspired me to try this. ATB.

It'll take and edge and hold it, but the problem is impact resistance. It doesn't have much of that.
