Extant. You get a word kudo, my philological phriend. And one more for an acquaintance with anthropological tool familiarity. 👏 Cannot wait to learn how to use this newly acquired gift.
As Mr. McDonald points out in his comment, this tool’s “revolution“ took place over 5000 years ago but yeah, I guess the accolade could still apply. Your pitch infers that it’s cutting edge cutting technology is of recent discovery. Not so. That said however, I just received one for Christmas and even though I’ve watched plenty of Inuit National Geographic videos, I’ve never really imagined that I would be using one someday. My Sicilian ancestors used honed bones, for all I know. But these natives from the north had it going on a long, long time ago. What’s revolutionary is that we of the dominant culture are just now getting around to opening our eyes to this ancient technology. I can’t wait to learn! Thank you for posting the video.
I was medically retired in 2018 from the transportation industry in 2018 and I used to see them in different truckstops but I'd never seen anything on the proper use of one. I'm a from scratch cook as is my wife and I wonder how would it feel in the hand cutting up a chicken or making chops from a pork loin. The videos I've seen only show someone cutting up vegetables and my history and sociology studies tell me our native neighbors way up north were not vegetarians if I recall correctly especially when it was cold.
