Can I make an obsidian dagger in only 15 minutes?
In this challenge, I put myself on the clock and attempt to turn a piece of volcanic glass into a finished obsidian dagger before time runs out. Obsidian is one of the sharpest natural materials on Earth, and during the challenge I even managed to cut myself along the way!
Using modern flintknapping tools, I race against the clock to see if I can thin, shape, and finish the dagger in just 15 minutes. The final result turned out better than I expected.
Would you try this challenge? Let me know in the comments how you think the dagger turned out!
