Broadhead toothy vs polished edge?
			Swampman:
			
			Smooth and razor sharp for me too.  I like them scary sharp!
		
			Hawkdancer:
			
			Just like knives, I believe they should be scary sharp!  Obsidian sharp!  Now, to get mine that way >:D!

Doesn't obsidian end up with micro serrations though?

Nope, under magnification obsidian is still smooth, as opposed to steel which looks like a tree saw.

			The things we learn on here,  i never would've thought that about obsidian.  I have read that rhe edge can get as thin as one atom across, making it the sharpest edge in the world.
I saw a suggestion on a different site about using stretched  rubber bands to simulate stretchy blood vessels in critters.  Give a push cut and/or slice to test how easily it severs.  
Well, I put it to the test with some of the thicker wider rubber bands,  and a polished edge out performed the best toothy edge.  Nothing scientific,  just could tell by how much more I had to rake the toothy one before the rubber band snapped.
