Looks to be very sharp. It should do the job. I hear you on the glass flakes, they suck!

Thanks fellas!  I won't be whining about cuts on my fingers anymore.  If obsidian has to have its blood offering , I much prefer it be from my hands than from my peepers! ;) ;D. Josh

Nice point.  Looks sharp.  The one and only time I got a flake in my eye, I help a paper towel over my eye and blew my nose as hard as I could.  It worked.  The flake came out.
