To do it in one blow? I believe so, yes. But it may not have even been possible due to the quality and dullness of these knives, no matter how strong the person was. And the killer did have a lot of time to work with, did they not? They had the whole night, after all.
Mm... Miss Sto Helit and I have narrowed down a potential frame of time from midnight to five in the morning. The dismemberment likely took place in the kitchen, which means that it most likely happened between the latest sleeper returning to their chambers and the earliest riser leaving. ...It is a relatively small window for so many things to be accomplished in.
