Because of the speed at which it cools, it does not have time to form a crystalline structure and, instead, forms a glass. Obsidian is created when highly viscous lava is cooled rapidly. Learning about the creation of obsidian and how it is formed into a knife sounds like something straight out of a fantasy book. What I’ve learned is super cool but, I’ll admit, a little disappointing for those of us that wanted an obsidian pocket knife to carry. Given how incredibly sharp and hard I thought obsidian was, it seemed like the perfect material. This led me down the road of obsidian knives.
