In all seriousness, this was a gift from a friend... i think its one of the coolest knives i own now ;)
 
obsidian? Looks sweet, I watched an old flint knapper do a couple pieces several years ago. One in flint, and one in obsidian. That volcanic glass, is bar none, the sharpest edge I have ever seen. He told me some of his stuff gets used by plastic surgeons. Its sharper than their scalpels.

I read a study of obsidian once...it's supposedly the sharpest material on the planet.

Looks very cool Jon...you figured out how you're going to use it yet?
 
i opened a cup of ramen today with it ;)

(it was crazy busy here today and i didnt really have time to eat a real lunch)

Obsidian scalpels are used often in eye surgery, because they make the cleanest cuts and--compared to diamond instruments of similar precision sharpness--they're more cost effective and durable.
 
I love how light plays off obsidian. When i was a kid i used to make crude little sculptures out of it. mostly fish, the reflections reminded me of fish scales.
 
In order to show respect to the original design, I think you need to wear the appropriate garb when using it:

Have you heard about that new thing called fire? I can send you some in a letter... :D


Cool little knife btw!
 
I met a couple of natives in Indiana one time and they were flint knappers and actually made scalpels for some doctors in Indianapolis because they couldn't get stainless steel sharp enough for a technique so they were approached, small blade obsidian is very very sharp and makes a clean cut.
