Silver blades are really only useful for decoration or Werewolves.

Yeah, even in a set of silverware the knives are generally steel with a silver handle, other than possibly butter knives.

I did not know that. I don't see why though, because it's not like silver is as soft as lead. It should function for basic fork/spoon use. Shouldn't it?

Forks and spoons may be solid silver; it's just too soft for use as a knife.

Oh wow. I totally missed some important words in your post. I knew that getting older meant developing blind spots, but I didn't think it would happen to entire words in posts.
