It was metal, or more precisely the lack of metal, that led the Aztecs to invent it. Native Americans never managed to figure out metallurgy beyond melting native gold, silver and copper.

When it cam up on Deadliest Warrior the maquahuitl was tested on a ballistic gel horse head, in which the head was sawed-off using three strikes. It was pointed out that the maquahuitl inflicted tearing wounds as opposed to cutting wounds; with the former causing greater bleedout. Shards of obsidian were embedded in the gel, indicating the weapon would continue to cause more damage if it hit. It also got nicknamed “the obsidian chainsaw”.
Chipped obsidian is sharper than it’s possible to sharpen steel, or even diamond. The finest knives in the world are obsidian. It’s just not very durable.
