Papuan sacred stone knife?

I have just had a thought that could make this more relevant to the blood thirsty. The tip on this knife is as finely ground as an adze blade. If you can cut and carve wood with stone chisels and adze, surely if a person was to feel aggressive enough you could force a stone knife into a naked torso or do extreme damage to an opponents head and face? "Bud" Hampton saw knives and although inquisitive and learned does not mean he saw an obvious answer?

Very nice knife! And I am glad that the yellow stuff isn't plastic and Joe was correct by the material!

Regards,

Detlef

For those interested this [pdf] file by the author of the book mentioned earlier in this thread, is basically the same as the publication but with more pictures. For some reason the pictures are not of a readable quality
