Hard to believe those could cut through bone. Of course, anything is better than the more modern way of doing it with a saw that put bone chips everywhere. And considering limbs have been successfully amputated with pocket knives, I guess those would work lol.

These are a specific design for cutting bone, but there was a saw lurking about as well.
