Best Ceramic Knives — 5 World’s Sharpest Knife Sets …

2 days · Wurtzite Boron Nitride and Lonsdaleite are two known materials that are harder than diamonds. Click to Tweet. Whenever graphite-based meteorites crash through the planet, it forms lonsdaleite. When a volcanic eruption occurs, wurtzite boron nitride is left behind. I will let you know as soon as someone starts making knives out of these materials.
