I have two stone blades here that I've knapped from obsidian.
The first is 5 3/8" total length with about a 4 1/4" cutting edge. The stone is Spiderweb obsidian in black and brown swirls.
They are ready to be hafted into the handle of your choice.
$30.00 w free s/h to US first "I'll take it" gets it
for those of you who want to know about obsidian , check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsidian
and this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapping
Now, let it be known that Obsidian, being a natural "glass" can be very sharp,
but also very brittle. So this is not a type of blade you would want for everyday use (that's what all the quality steel blades listed on this site are for) but should be considered "collectible art pieces" reminiscent of the stone age, before man learned the superior properties of iron and steel.
