SPOONS
*Spoons have been around since the Stone age.
* During the Middle ages:
Spoons where supplied by the dinner hosts, and where generally made of wood or horn.
*At the beginning of the 14th century:
Spoons started to be made from such materials as, tinned iron, brass and pewter. Pewter being the most popular as it made metal spoons more affordable.

KNIVES
*knives have been used as eating utensils, weapons and tools since the prehistoric times.
*During the middle ages most people carried their own knives around with them, in sheaths attached to their belts.
The main difference between knives of today and knives of then is that our knives are more designed as eating utensils with rounded ends, and the knives of the middle ages had a rather sharp point at the end for the spearing of food, jabbing of people and animals.
