They had something like this in early Mesoamerica (Macahuitl) but it doesn't fit the setting.

so many farmer want good tools but dose not all of them have (any) metal mine
and bone of HnH is cutting tree why not crop plant?


+1
I would like to have a one handed sickle, metal or not.
Edit: It would also be badass to walk around with one and a hammer.

One of first and simple weapon in human history
its good match for HnH world

No it isn't.
Wikipedia wrote: * Writing in the American Journal of Physics, physicist Edgar D. Zanotto states "...the predicted relaxation time for GeO2 at room temperature is 10^32 years. Hence, the relaxation period (characteristic flow time) of cathedral glasses would be even longer."[28] (10^32 years is many times longer than the estimated age of the Universe.)
* If medieval glass has flowed perceptibly, then ancient Roman and Egyptian objects should have flowed proportionately more — but this is not observed. Similarly, prehistoric obsidian blades should have lost their edge; this is not observed either (although obsidian may have a different viscosity from window glass).[21]
* If glass flows at a rate that allows changes to be seen with the naked eye after centuries, then the effect should be noticeable in antique telescopes. Any slight deformation in the antique telescopic lenses would lead to a dramatic decrease in optical performance, a phenomenon that is not observed.[21]
* There are many examples of centuries-old glass shelving which has not bent, even though it is under much higher stress from gravitational loads than vertical window glass.

like most matter, glass has solid, liquid and gaseous forms

well sure, at high enough tempurature. of course since glass is more than one element, i'm sure it would break down into separate elements at that point. and i doubt it's possible to achieve high enough temperature on earth anyway.

Spears, yes, and I'd rather have one-handed ones. Two-handed long spears were used in formation, and we don't have fighting in formation, so there.
Stone swords, no, thanks.
Primitive variants of metal equipment, not just sickle, very yes. Wouldn't mind if doing things with your bare hands to accommodate was made slower, but preferably after a world reset.

You got me there.

A hydrogen bomb should do the trick nicely.

+1 for new stuff, any stuff.

It's all jackard's fault, he offended the stuff.
Or maybe Jorb just ran out of ideas for topic titles...
