History of the Obsidian Knife
The obsidian knife is an ancient tool that embodies both functional and symbolic significance. Its history spans across continents and millennia, revealing its crucial role in the survival, cultural rituals, and technological advancements of early civilizations.
Origins of Obsidian
Obsidian is a volcanic glass formed when molten lava cools rapidly, resulting in a hard, brittle material with the ability to fracture into razor-sharp edges.
Discovery by Early Humans
Prehistoric humans discovered obsidian’s unique properties and began using it for cutting tools and weapons as early as the Paleolithic era, roughly 700,000 years ago.
Surgical Precision
In modern times, obsidian knives have been used for surgical applications due to their sharpness, which can be several times finer than steel scalpels
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans today craft obsidian knives as decorative or ceremonial pieces, inspired by ancient designs
