History & Background (Dossier)
The earliest knives tend to fashioned from animal horns or bones should a world possess both a sophont and sophisticated animal life or equivalent creatures. Other sophonts construct knives from volcanic substances including obsidian. During the TL:1-3 epoch, sophonts generally transition from organic materials to various kinds of shaped and smelted metals.
The TL-3 blade represented in this AAB article is a relatively sophisticated knife forged by a blacksmith in a smithy of hard iron and perhaps even sophisticated alloys such as hardened steel.
