Very interesting.

Sounds like they finally discovered Quebracho wood. It was once used to make ship propeller shaft bushings. I have made several knife handles from this stuff. Hard is not the word for it.

Key here is

nearly three times sharper than a standard dinner table knife

“Standard “ is very subjective and Most people do not keep sharp knives
When I go to a friend or relatives house and we are cooking out I bring my own knives for a reason

The only thing I'm aware of that is sharper than steel is obsidian glass and of course the time tested fart which can go through 3 layers of denim jeans without making a hole.
No doubt I can stabilize a piece of wood and make it sharp enough to cut a steak or my finger but no way in hail will it last longer than it takes it to absorb some moisture and get dull.

I was thinking Manzanita... that stuff is darn near bullet proof.

Manzanita has a Janka hardeness of 2350 lbft
Quebracho is 4570 lbft
It is easier to sand and shape brass than this stuff.
