It's curious. You'd think with today's powder metallurgy science and whatnot people would've already figured out how to get 1095 steel to behave like that.

I found this knife company vox knives. A one man crew with some pretty cool designs. At this link he chops a 2x4 in half and then says it still shaves hair and cuts paper. Is this possible? If so what properties do you have to have for a knife to do this?

I think he means the old Richtig demos of hammering the knife through bolts on an anvil.I'm not sure what you mean by "behave like that", but if it's the wood chopping and paper cutting, try an ESEE in the 7 to 9 inch blade range. There are lots of people who figured out how to get 1095 to behave like that. They just didn't think it was impressive enough to tell everyone.

Fixed that for ya'.a lot of the stuff thats done to these knives are actually apart of the test to becoming a master bladesmith of the American Bladesmith Society which i believe (but dont quote me) has a little over 300 master knife smiths throughouts its known history
Shoot, didn't see it was that old but to answer your question..You resurrected a 5-year-old thread to correct a name of an organization?
