Silver knives are normally made with a stainless steel blade with a hollow silver handle. The stainless blade extends into the handle with a holding material that binds to the handle. So there is very little actual silver in a Sterling knife. This is generally true on most silver items with handles that are made separate. The cost for knives made like this should be much less than Solid silver knives, which are rare.

A knife blade that is mostly silver is much too soft to hold an edge and would probably only serve as a butter knife. In addition, silver is expensive, tarnishes easily and would get scratched up with regular use so for all purposes, stainless steel would be a better alternative.
