I think you mean a hardness that will make it so brittle it will break
instead of permanently (plastically) bend. But it will bend elastically.

O.K., I'll say it again, I, or anyone else who knows what they are
doing can heat treat 1095 steel so that you cannot make it bend to any
easily visible amount. I'll go  even further, I can heat treat 1095 to
the extent that when you quench the hot steel it will crack or break.
