[0:00]The paper is soaked in resin before being layered on top of more paper. Then it's clamped between pieces of wood and after a few days, the liquid hardens and locks every fiber exactly where it is. The hardened paper is then cut into the shape of a knife blade, and the edges are sanded down. Now its edge is actually made of torn fibers, like microscopic saw teeth. All those tiny edges line up into one stiff surface and instead of folding, the force goes straight forward just like a real knife.
