I don’t know how you guys work with obsidian. I thought flint flakes were sharp but you pick up the wrong shard of obsidian and it will cut your finger clean off! I mean I get that you can kill game more easily that way, but I’ll just stick with a flint-tipped spear and an atlatl.
To be fair, I’d rather use obs for hand tools - cutting, skinning, scraping, notching. Shit’s expensive, yeah I have some obs spear heads “just in case,” but I’d rather not shoot them off and maybe lose them if I don’t have to.
