the genuine ones can get through security at airports as to metal detectors.....though most now have a little metal added for that very reason
Principal benefit is non-magnetism and hence pretty useful for the boys in Afghanistan re bomb disposal.
In the kitchen they remain sharper longer than metal - but they are more brittle, so don't drop them! Not good for chopping bones or into frozen food - or other more bizarre practices like leveraging something out of a crack or as a screwdriver as apart from being britle they can chip (not the fried type)

Yes I have one. I call it "Excalibur" and it lives in a box with a warning on the outside about being insanely sharp.
It weighs almost nothing and is a pleasure to use because it carves effortlessly like no other knife I have used. It can be used for boning but it must be used with extreme dexterity because it is very brittle and heavy duty interaction with the bone will break or blunt it.
When I complete the carving I wash it immediately in isolation and return it to its box. It cannot be treated like other cutlery. It would either smash or take your finger off if you mix it in general washing up.
