    From Wikipedia: "Even the sharpest metal knife has a jagged, irregular blade when viewed under a strong enough microscope; when examined even under an electron microscope an obsidian blade is still smooth and even.[36] "

    This was discussed some time ago and that video was referenced then.

    The trouble with obsidian is it's way too brittle.
