National Knife Day
August 24, 2025-August 24, 2025 -
USA, USA
The evolution of knives has been a remarkable feat throughout the history of humans – from knives made of bone, stone and flint, to modern creations using titanium, bronze, iron and steel. Nobody can deny the knife is one of man’s most useful tools – for cooking, eating, fishing, hunting, and not to forget the oh-so-handy Swiss Army knife.
National Knife Day has been celebrated each year for more than a decade, since at least 2011. The date that was chosen for observing National Knife Day seems to be associated with the Bowie Knife. It was on August 24, 1838, that a letter was written by Rezin Bowie, the brother of the knife’s namesake, claiming that he (and not his brother) was the actual creator of the knife and deserved credit for it.
Whether spending the day sharpening knives, crafting a knife, or pulling out that collection of knives, National Knife Day is a great time to show appreciation for this ancient tool that is still relevant today!
