"Believe me, that stuff is seriously sharp."

The Aztecs used it to slice open chest cavities - it's supposed to be sharper than surgical steel.

Obsidian breaks down to one atom at the edge. I have cut myself with and not even known it until the blood starts running some where. I believe it is used today for eye surgery work.
