The oldest known examples come from the Swabian Jura region of Germany, where caveman style knives were used by Neanderthals. In addition to Germany, caveman style knives have also been found in France, Italy, Spain, and other European countries. These knives were likely used for a variety of purposes, including hunting and butchering animals.
The most famous caveman style knife is the Clovis point, which was used by the Clovis culture of North America.

How are the handles of these knives constructed?
These knives have very interesting handles. The process by which they are constructed is quite fascinating.
The knives are first forged from a piece of high-carbon steel. This steel is heated to a very high temperature and then cooled very quickly. This process gives the steel its hardness and strength.
Next, the steel is shaped into the blades of the knives. The blades are then tempered, or hardened, to make them even stronger.
Finally, the handles are attached to the blades. The most common way to do this is to weld the handle onto the blade. However, some knives have handles that are riveted or pinned onto the blade.
The construction of these knives is quite interesting and it is amazing how strong and durable they are as a result.
