I totally agree with what you're saying, and also agree that when used for the intended purpose a Liquidmetal knife would be an excellent option.
The problem, as always, is price difference versus performance difference... would retail customers pay the premium to cut a head of lettuce?
As a surgical scalpel, I think Liquidmetal could make sense, but as a knife, probably not.
You may remember the "Ginsu Knives", I don't know what they're made of but they never need to be sharpened and can cut a can in half then slice a tomato to perfection (I remember the TV ads).
My opinion is that Liquidmetal is better than steel, titanium, etc but how much better versus the increased cost.
I've never sent a sandwich back because the tomato was cut incorrectly... lol!
