    Even with ultrasonic vibrations things will stick because things are elastic and sucktion.

    Eh, perhaps not.

    Ultrasonic vibration causes tiny cavitation bubbles to form at the interface between metal and liquid, and then those bubbles collapse a tiny second of a fraction later … quite violently. If it’s well designed, then it should clean stuff off of itself just like materials you put in an ultrasonic cleaner.

    But these cavitation bubbles are strong enough to eat away at the metal itself as well. I expect this knife might not actually last very long if you use the vibration a lot.
