i just received an obsidian blade off of $%&y but man this thing ain't too sharp! in fact I sawed back and forth across the top of my hand trying to see if it would cut but no luck...is there a way to get this thing "Sharper"

Light pressure flaking may sharpen it, but I think that was knapped for aesthetics, not for use. You may ruin its shape trying to get it sharp.
Nice looking blade.
Gene,
PM sent.
Thanks for the replies, This being my first knapped blade I took it for granted it would be "usable" ishiwannabe I think your right, just might be an "art" piece...oh well lesson learned
By the way, Great looking blade Gene! It should make a really nice display piece!

Yeah it would, but I wanted a knapped blade that I could make a working knife with, not a dust collector..lol
