If you want to try walking to the edge, if your character was immortal, it'd take about 17 IRL-years.

If you really want to craft a knife, you will need 4 steel ingots.
1 for smithing hammer (hit hot steel ingot with stone on flat rock)
1 for chisel (Hit hot steel ingot 2 times with hammer on flat rock)
1 for file blank (hit ingot 5 times)
1 for blade blank (hit ingot 6 times)
Oil the file with a cooked goose, combine it with a chisel, hammer the two with a smithing hammer, and remove the steel file.
Use the steel file on the blade blank to sharpen it into a blade. Combine it with a short straight shaft, and now you have a knife!
A bow and arrow is easier to make, though. Haha.

3 shots, no loot. If you're by yourself, a backpack makes for a good sheath quiver.

I've studied a small bit in anthropology of medicine. Just as health is a normal part of human existence, so too is illness and injury. In weakening us, it makes us vulnerable and dependent upon our fellow humans for care. These abstract ideas got me thinking that this game can show a lot about the roles of illness and health in the human condition, just like it does for the roles of family and community.
Concretely, I was thinking this could manifest as wild animals maiming you instead of instantly killing you. After a period of time, you may lose consciousness or some other bodily function, whereby others would have the opportunity to revive you. Milkweed could be used for bandages; and an herb could be harvested which heals general illnesses (say if you ate a raw rabbit or rancid gooseberries; or if goose pox swept through a blossoming town) when prepared in specific ways. Towns and hamlets could have medici, who could discover things like inoculating BBs with sheep pox prevents goose pox plagues.
Stuff like that.

In one life, I was born to a single mother and the only inhabitant of a large farm. I grew to be a carrot farmer and basket weaver, and it was just the two of us. She looked after me and provided for me like no mother had. When she was dying, I stuck by her as she had stuck by me when I was helpless. Luckily my computer captured an image of it.
She told me I was a good daughter. Her final command was to expand the milkweed farm and only harvest when fruiting, so that it may be used for future generations to come. While I had heard the advice before, I hold her wisdom in my heart when farming, and I shall for many lives to come.
