Looks Nice, but Not functional

Looks nice enough, but it is not functional. I was hoping to do some light cutting, just to experience/experiment with a tool I had only read about in my Anthropology text books. The plan was to see how it would cut meat, leather, or vegetables. The blade is as sharp as a letter opener, not what you would expect from obsidian, the sharpest substance on earth. Compared to other lithic tools for sale, this one is low-priced. It will make a nice display.
