Not exactly. Just tonite I was wielding 3 crysknives (yes I got'em from a
wand of wishing) when I found a tin.  It turned out to be salmon.
the crysknives slipped out of my hands, and when i picked them up they
were reverted to worm teeth. I have been slashing monsters left and right
before that.  SOOO...

took a peek into the source file ,and found that
(SPOILER COMING UP! DIVERT YOUR EYES WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TIME!) :-)

whenever crysknives are dropped they become worm teeth. You have to read
a scroll of enchant weapon to change them back into crysknives.
In the old version (1.0.1) throwing crysknives will not demote them,
but in the new version (1.0.2) it *will* turn them into teeth.
