We use sharpened shale, which we sharpen on rocks.  Items used for ceremonial reasons have to be made properly.
Goodness, we are ignorant desert blacks not supporting Australian Import Export.

That would be a struggle in it's own.

Anyone tried to buy Australian made toothpaste?

I had to do the shopping the other day and master 16 and a good laugh at my frustration trying to find some.

Chinese, South African, New Zealand, Thailand, English...... no Australian made, in a fairly large Safeway.
