Default Why do chisels have to be sharp?

In article ,
says...

Why do companies tout their products as being constructed of 'space-age'
materials?

The space age's golden period was in the 1960's.

Just wondering.


I expect that may have something to do with the fact that materials science
really advanced in leaps and bounds, particularly in ceramics and alloys, in
connection with space research. So the association probably kinda stuck.
