First, that man appears to be using a synthetic stone. Second, who cares? Do you only use Formica countertops because granite is FOR WEEBS? Do you only use synthetic oil in your car because regular motor oil is FOR WEEBS? Maybe you only eat processed meat because regular steak is FOR WEEBS???? Sometimes, natural materials work fine, and many times they work better or just as well as the latest, greatest synthetics.

>sharpening/honing knives is a fad

What the fuck do you mean "is a fad"? Knives have been around for at least 2 million years according to the best archaeological results we have, which, in case you can't count, is a REALLY FUCKING LONG TIME AGO. It's practically one of the single oldest tools ever invented, after the wheel and the tipped spear.

I don't know where humanity went so fucking wrong as to make abject mouth-breathing retards like you welcome, even on a board like /ck/. All you're capable of doing is just mindlessly spouting off about how this food or this technique is a meme and I bet you've never had a demonstrably intelligent thought in your whole fucking life. Everything has to be a fucking fad because who in all of human history would ever think to do something as insane as DOING THINGS THAT KEEP THEIR TOOLS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER?

I fucking hate you and everyone like you and everything you represent. I hate that you had this thought, typed it out into the "start new thread" box, solved the Captcha, picked an image, and during all this time, never thought about how UNIMAGINABLY DUMB making a post like this is.

What a fucking waste of human life. I'll let you enjoy the sensation of getting a (You) because it's obviously the only thing that makes each day of your pathetic existence more bearable.

What? No way is a knife more recent than the wheel. Travois and firedrill, as well as snares, nets, and hooks, are probably millenia older than the wheel. Sharp stick and sharp stone (spear and knife) are probably the oldest inventions.

"knife" is sufficiently general that it can include really primitive stuff because all you need is an elongated hard piece of something that's sharp on one edge, attached to something resembling a handle.

To be fair, with later flint knapping techniques, and similar with obsidian, late stone knives had razor sharp edges that were unsurpassed by metallurgy until the industrial revolution.

>>8780683
One of the most advanced technological developments in human history was bashing flint in just the right angles to get multiple blades off of one effective node (basically multiplying the useful surface area of the same resource).

It's pretty sad, for the access to knowledge modern humans have, to be so ignorant and stupid. Neolithic era humans were probably the apex of our species.

Not putting knives in the dishwasher isn't because of some bullshit different coefficient of expansion, but partly because dishwasher fuck wood up (and that goes for any wood utensils), but primarily because most dishwashing detergent is abrasive and will fuck up your edge.

Also those handles are fucking tacky and probably have no grip.

flint knapping isnt what made the edges sharp, the natural faults of the rock wouldve already been razor sharp, at least in obsidians case. the purpose of knapping the edge wasnt to increase sharpness, but durability. a natural edge was exceptionally sharp, but also brittle. a knapped edge could achieve all the necessary functions of the sharper natural edge, but with many times the resilience

taking into account both common functionality/usage AND form/construction/composition is what helps normal human beings avoid the quandary you find yourself in now. a bow is not a musket because, while both are projectile weapons designed to maim/kill, there are massive differences in mechanism and production that clearly differentiate them to anyone who isn't trying their hardest to be an insufferable contrarian fuckwit.

>>8780816
we're not defining a knife as a "sharp pointy thing". no one in this entire fucking thread has. we're defining a knife as a short handle with a blade, shorter than the handle and of some given material, attached to the handle.

you're the only person in this whole thread who's being deliberately obfuscatory about what a "knife" is. even talking in the most primitive way possible, LITERALLY EVERYONE BUT YOU would be able to correctly differentiate between an ax, a knife, and a spear. congratulations on being that special kind of retard who can't.
