  They were Hollywood props. The real nice, throat slicing, bone handle knife was plastic.

  I have the DVD with the extra one on how the movie was made. Actually the Obsidean blades looked like rubber the way they would bend when the actors were playing around with them.

I would guess that they were casts of actual obsidian blades.
