When one thinks of a wooden knife or spoon, one might also think it would get broken very easily. In India, wooden spoons and knives are frequently used, but not with hard food items; for example, to cut meat. The reason is simple — these wooden spoons and knives aren’t as strong as the steel ones. However, scientists have now made a wooden knife, which is so sharp that one may think it’s made of steel. As per reports, scientists in America’s University of Maryland have devised a technique to process wood after which it can be turned 23 times stronger.

Sharp knives and pointed nails can also be made with the help of this technology. Using their special technique, the scientists made a wood that can be used as an alternative to steel or ceramic. To prove the strength of the wood, scientists have made a dinner knife, which is three times sharper than stainless steel and can be used while eating food. They have also made a nail, which can easily make a hole in other wood and it will also not rust. When one looks at the strong and sharp things around them, most are man-made because natural things can not fulfil human demands the way they want.
