Disturbingly enough your not far off the mark GMB, its been known for millenia that the crystaline structure of glass can create a knife far sharper and more durable than iron and steel.
Along a fracture line of glass you wind up with an edge just a few angstroms thick, capable of severing the individual hydrogen bonds and protien chains of hair.
Steel/iron on the other hand dont have structures that "line up" nearly as nicely and tend to bend slightly on contact due to their malleable nature.
