Takes a great edge,great shaver

Do you have more information on this?
Is it an actual artifact dug up, or a razor made recently using black jade? Like when people on youtube shave with bits of obsidian.
Did people ever actually use black jade to shave? I thought it started off with shark teeth and clam shells, and then bronze blades.

Actually my post was in jest,is an Indian artifact dug from a Burial ground in Klamath Calif.
Is Calif Jadite most likly from the Mendocino Coast.
Is a fleshing tool used to Skin animals.
