Why Carry a Self Defense Hidden Knife?
Posted by Cutlery Wholesaler on 10/11/2023 to
It starts with the invention or more likely discovery of the knife blade, then through its widespread use in weapons, to its adoption as a tool by tradesmen. The hidden knife has been found in Egyptian tombs from 3000 BC and was made of bronze. Bronze is an alloy or mixture consisting mainly of copper, typically together with tin as well as other metals such as nickel or zinc.
This kind of knife may have been used for cutting rope from which, to use an example, a sail could be made. Bronze knives are found on several Asiatic sites as well as in Peru and North America. The earliest known knife in Europe is the so-called “Venus of Brassempouy” from the upper paleolithic levels of the Abbeville caves (Brassempouy is a village in France). It is decorated with fish and bears all signs of having been worked with stone tools.
What is a Hidden Knife?
We all know how dangerous it can be to carry around a knife, but oftentimes we don't think about what the word is. The reason this word is hidden has a lot to do with the act of carrying around a concealed blade. The difference between "carrying" and "concealing" these cool knives in your pocket or under your coat, for example, will make all the difference in whether you are arrested and charged for carrying a concealed weapon.
There are two main definitions that you need to understand when it comes to knives. The first is "conceal." This is described as the act of covering up something so that others cannot see it. The second term is "carry." This describes an action of transporting or moving something from one place to another.
If you are caught with a hidden knife necklace in your pocket or on your person, but it is not concealed, you have not broken the law. You will only be arrested if you have broken another law and a knife was discovered during the stop and frisk. Realize that if there is some kind of evidence of crime, like a baggie or cash, you can be arrested for related crimes like drug possession.
History of Hidden Knives
It has been dated to about 40,000 BC. The handle has been lost or never was one since it is also made of mammoth tusk. The finished leather sheath is preserved. The handle, which was carved from ivory, has been buried with bone and the blade is in ivory. The blade is made of flint or quartzite, either plain or knapped and it may have been on a longer handle (saber).
It may have also been a dagger. The next knife blade to be found dates to the Neolithic period in Europe (about 3500 BC). It is made of a thin sheet of carbon steel and is on display at the British Museum. By the Neolithic period, blades had appeared in other parts of Asia as well as Africa and these were made from iron or iron alloys.
Iron is an alloy of iron and carbon that has been forged or hammered into metal by heating it to a high temperature and then getting it cold again. The natural form of iron ore is wrought iron which needs to be treated by heating it in hot air until it becomes red-hot. It then needs to be quenched by the application of a cold liquid or water, probably water because in its molten state, it would burn the hands while working with it.
Making an iron blade from this ore involves hammering directly on the piece being fabricated or forging from which a knife can be made. The steel used in these historic blades can still be seen today although its making is now industrialized.
