That's a beautiful little knife!  Question:  Do you actually use a knife like that?  If so, how do you keep it sharp?

I have used them before but really don’t very often. Usually when I’m using a knife I’m getting serious about something.

To sharpen I would have to remove some flakes by pressure flaking.

Been looking at the last stuff you’ve posted  Bjrogg and I’m curious if you points/blades are obsidian. It looks like it but there’s lots of different stuff out there. 
That’s a cool little knife. My New Year’s resolution is a couple good points.

Yes muskyman. This is obsidian my cousin collected from several years at glass butte. It’s from spalls.

In some ways it’s easier than flint and in others it’s more difficult.

PS it comes in lots of colors
