Better stock up now.
Before the.. “IT’S INVISABLE ON AN AIRPORT/ COURT ROOM SCANER” crowd bans it.
when you limit the walnut bowls of law abiding citizens, only criminals will have walnut bowls.
The problem is you need a saw made of the same wood as the knife.
“In the first step, we partially delignify wood. Typically, wood is very rigid, but after removal of the lignin, it becomes soft, flexible, and somewhat squishy. In the second step, we do a hot press by applying pressure and heat to the chemically processed wood to densify and remove the water.”

Sounds like how you make traditional linoleum.
My first thought also. Boys will be making them in shop.
Like the infamous Glock smears when the Glock came out…’only purpose is as a weapon of terror, can’t be detected by metal detector’…
[[The scientists hope this new form of wood can come to offer an eco-friendly alternative to steel and ceramics,]]
Stripcutting forests is now in vogue apparently?
Does it come from the Ginsu tree?
Coming soon to a jihadi airline passenger near all of us?
Lorena Bobbitt said to be interested-
Pure gold dissolved in cyanic acid is used to delignify the wood. 🤪
If you had a couple, eventually you would have a pair of chopsticks. Recycle! /s
“Is it dishwasher safe?”
Oops.
From the article: “...and can even be thrown into the dishwasher after use.”
Yeah, I almost asked that immediately but decided to read the article to see if it addressed it. It didn’t.
It did say it’s harder than regular wood, but it didn’t say how hard it is compared to steel, or even aluminum or copper.
It may only be good for a steak or two... i.e. good for an interesting news story or conversation piece in your dining room, but not “real world” practical.
A solution to a non-problem. Who among us has ever agonized over cutting a steak?
It should be easy to smuggle onto a plane.
Well. Better than wooden penises, ashtrays, or spoon holders.
It may not hold an edge for long, but it just needs to stay sharp for about half the flight.
Clickbait.
The headline says this wood knife is three times sharper than a steel knife.
Pretty impressive, until you learn the actual comparison is with a standard dinner table knife. You know - the ones that aren’t sharp at all.
I bet it’s twenty times sharper than a steel ball-bearing.
The oil is to stop the water penetration, so...maybe?
