    Factories astonish me. How humans were able to design and produce these automated machines with such precision just baffles me. Major kudos to the scientists, engineers, and everyone else involved!

      People lose their tableware all the time. Many throw them out because they get bored of them. And then you also have hundreds of thousands of babies being born EACH DAY. There's always demand for products, especially in this consumerist culture that modernity promotes. And if there isn't, the markets will tell them based on the sales they get.

      Less about weight, moreso about rigidity. The tang of the knife is held solid by that cement, and it keeps the thinner nickel handle from being able to dent or bend.
