smithing, knives, etc.
A fresh branch brings the mallet back up as a kind of spring. The smith can use his foot/leg to smite the metal instead of his hand/arm.

obsidian blades
Obsidian blades are the sharpest in the world, making the sharpest steel edges seem blunt in comparison.
Historically mesoamerican cultures made obsidian knives and even a kind of sword. Though the use of obsidian may seem primitive, it's practical applications and success cannot be denied. It's main drawback in modern society is perhaps that obsidian isn't a source that can easily be produced or mined. Cultures that had such knives in the past, however, had a great advantage. Mesoamerican cultures kept the Spaniards at bay for a long time in part because of their superior weaponry for hand-to-hand combat.
