During the Middle Ages, most men and women wore a small knife in a sheath as part of their daily dress and used it as an all-purpose eating utensil and tool. It’s use as a weapon has usually been secondary. It is not extraordinary that this was also the case in the bronze age. Also wealthier individuals generally had nicer daggers. Meteorite knifes or daggers were, and are, the most valuable, unique and have properties that are close to the best modern metal, almost magic in the old world. Knifes of this type have been found in the tombs of Pharaohs.

a dagger entombed alongside the mummy of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun was made with iron that came from a meteorite, researchers say.
The weapon was one of a pair of daggers discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1925 within the burial wrappings of the teenaged king.
The origin of its unrusted iron blade has baffled scientists because such metalwork was rare in ancient Egypt.
Tutankhamun was mummified more than 3,300 years ago.
“Meteoritic iron is clearly indicated by the presence of a high percentage of nickel,” the study’s main author, Daniela Comelli, said.
Unrusted tools have been found in the low stone walls that New England farmers made in the 1500s and have been in the weather since then.
I found a Model-T engine block that had been siting in the woods on a piece of property I bought with exposed valves that were only 1/2 rusted.
All of this things come from high nickle iron mines - apparently there used to be a lot of it, but it all got melted down during WWII to make Liberty ships and the like.
I carry a Swiss Army knife with me all of the time. I use it numerous times each and every day. Anyone who does not carry a pocket knife is uncivilized.
