Now, I don’t know about you, but I can’t see cutting my ribeye with that. But maybe I’m a little more evolved than our ancestors who used this.

But just a little.

This tiny piece of flint is thought to have been among the first steak knives used around 200,000 years ago in Israel. They found it surrounding a fire containing animal bones.

It’s amazing to think we’ve gone from that teensy bit of rock to this . . .

And I am so thankful, too, because I’m impatient as it is when I’m eating my steak. The thought of spending hours just cutting it up makes me, well, hungry.

Read the entire interesting article about this historical find here. But don’t throw away your steak knives. You’ll wanna keep those.

Now, this one I’ve never seen before.

If you have trouble cutting your steak, this handy little tool is here to save the day.

As we age, our coordination is not what it used to be. This one-handed steak knife lets you cut with, well, one hand. Now isn’t that cool?

I’m ALL FOR any device that allows steak-eating into our golden years! Hooray!!!

I found this at a place called GoldViolin.com. I’m bookmarking it for the next 60 years. Awesome.
