          Gee, you really don't get anything.

You're saying this because I pointed out that blades are known
to have been in use for millions of years..

         BTW, those sickles resemble blades

They're made up of a number of blades identical to those in use
for millions of years. That's all. They just took a number of
blades of a type produced for millions of years and set them
in wood to create a sickle.

instead of having multiple micro-blades, you can have one long blade.

That is infinitely more difficult, working with flint or
obsidian, than is using multiple blades (or a type produced
for millions of years).
