Toward the end of the movie, Lamia uses a steel on the edge of her glass knife (presumably to sharpen it). Steels are only used to correct a curled edge on a regular knife. A glass or crystal knife's edge cannot curl, so a steel would not help, and might actually damage, the edge. This error was also present in Neil Gaiman's novel: in the commentary to the audio-book, he says that while recording it he noticed for the first time that he had made "a huge and embarrassing mistake in sheer physical science" when writing the novel because during a revision he had changed the knife from metal to obsidian (volcanic glass) but had left in the description of Lamia sharpening the knife on a whetstone.
