Lignum is about 3 times harder than oak, there are a few other species even harder than that (some kind of australian ironwood is the hardest if memory serves) but lignum is by far the easiest to get hold of. On a side note, if you ever cut down an apple tree in your garden, do yourself a favour and smash the stump out while it's still green. I made the mistake of leaving a big stump for about 10 years and when it came to remove it it was so hard that you could only get a half inch into it before the chainsaw teeth were completely dull and a sharp 8lb axe would just bounce off. Had to burn it out in the end

As a beginner woodworker, who specialises in cutlery, guitar picks and tobacco pipes. I think you should have oriented the grain from spine to edge rather than handle to blade I think that wood have made the cutting edge stronger. Thus potentially sharper. But some oil finish like: linseed or sunflower oil wood go a long way to increase strength. Hone the bevel (with a shallow angle), oil it. Then, stone it. But this is just my initial thought. I will try it for myself and edit this comment to tell you my findings. Cool video Tyler. I never hesitate when I see a new video from you.

Lots of spot on comments here in the thread. 1. Thickness. The woods sharpness would have been better had it been at the optimal thickness to structure rigidity. A butter knife was more dull but would have cut through on the swing. Why? Thickness. A butter knife is metal so it can be insanely thin and still have structure. 2. The grain. I learned a long time ago wood grain direction matters A LOT. As someone else said, flip that thing around and you stand a better chance. 3. My favorite. Fire hardening. You wouldn't believe the strength increase. You're going to lose structure flex as the moisture and space in the wood allow it to flex more. You should watch a non fired wooden arrow vs a fired one in slow mo. Same with spears. I'd say you could match the edge of a trash Walmart knife if you got some extremely hard wood, thin the blade, and fire it. I and everyone else is certain of it

Little tip for hardening wood is fire. Hold it over fire until the surface is getting lightly charcoaled (over 180°C). That lets the succrose, wich is inherent in wood, melt and crystalize (like caramell) It imrpoves the stiffness and density of the wood fibers since it acts like super glue between the fibers.

the problem with wood vs metal is, the molecules of wood are much bigger than metal. so technically you can only get it as sharp as the molecules are in size. the bigger the molecule, the more surface area there is to absorb energy, which is why wood is hard to keep sharp, where as metal is easy to keep sharp, since the molecules receive less energy.

can try heat tempering the wood to make it harder before trying to sharpen it. most people I know do this with a blow torch going back and forth on the wood till it's slightly blackened and feels smooth (after it's cooled of course) the wood shrinks slightly when you do this and the fibers inside it bond more tightly together. also a good alternative to resin coating or wood stain to keep it from rotting
