    Obsidian is a very special rock made under special circumstances. When I hear someone say “made of rock” I think of rocks I would find anywhere and not obsidian.

    So yeah rock based knives are useful but if you only include common rock types I imagine they would probably suck or have to be sharpened constantly.

      Flint is what’s used and it was everywhere. Even made some as a kid when we were bored.
