And iron for that matter, as I think it's been used for edged tools too. Even though it could hardly have been very good.
I'm interested both in actual performance, such as edge holding, and the relative cost and difficulty in making a knife out of bronze instead of steel, mainly during the time when bronze and flint was still common for this.
