How has nobody mentioned glass knives?

They were a thing for a few years back in the day (1920s~1940s). Thanks to advancements in glass tech they were quickly becoming a popular choice for cutting acidic foods that would mess with steel blades. But after they came out stainless steal became a thing and they got abandoned almost overnight. As someone who studied glass in college I would love to see a modern version. But many of those characteristics are surpassed by new ceramic blades knives which you can buy, or not worth it given the relatively low cost of a stainless steel blade that can handle things like tomatoes.

I got one from an antique store, but I don't use it because it has some small chipping and it likely has uranium in it.
