Product Description: Kyocera Ceramic knives are a unique alternative to metal-based versions with a resin handle for a highly controlled grip. Unlike a forged metal blade, which is soft and susceptible to chemical corrosion, the Kyocera zirconium oxide blade resists wear and holds its edge for months to years without sharpening. Stain and rust-resistant, the blade is impervious to food acids, which discolor steel products. No metallic taste or smell will be transferred to your food, and the non-stick ceramic surface makes cleanup easy. This terrific knife comes with a five year limited warranty against breakage.

Rating: - Fabulous knife!
A dull knife is the most dangerous tool in the kitchen. I've always owned very good knives -- including Henckels (not the ones made in China), Wustof, Shun, etc. -- and have always sharpened my own knives with steels and with my Chef's Choice electric sharpeners. But these ceramic knives by Kyocera truly are great because they don't need sharpening and are extremely sharp. I can pull these knives out each time and know they are ready for use. I make my own gravlax and am impressed with the paper-thin slices of the raw fish that I can get from using the ceramic knives.
Rating: - Very sharp but.................
These knives are extremely sharp and seem to hold an edge but the blade is thicker than steel and consequently the blade tends to get stuck in food that doesn't just fall away. Other than that these knives are great. They slice a ripe tomato without crushing and raw meat with ease. I use these knives as often as I can.
Rating: - Not as sharp as I expected.
I'm kind of reluctant to write this review. Particularly since a professional chef seems to favor this knife in a previous review but I have a particular issue with this knife that I feel I have to point out for others. I like the quality of the knife. It feels very nice in the hand, very well balanced though obviously feels a bit fragile since it's made out of ceramic. I have no issues with the quality or the fragility of the knife.
The issue I have is that the sharpness of the blade is not all that impressive to me. My favorite steel for blades is VG-10, which I think is ... Read More

This is my 2nd ceramic knife. I like it for cutting lettuce and romaine as it is large enough to cut up a head of lettuce. My other ceramic knife is smaller and not as easy to use on something that large. It is great on tomatoes and other fruit and vegetables. I also use it on grapefruit and oranges.
Rating: - Worth every penny.........
I'm not a professional chef.........I just have a bad case of "chef envy". Recently got this knife based on the chef's recommendation - LOVE it. Extremely sharp, as are all the Kyocera knives. Very well balanced and comfortable to use. I have a full set of top of the line Henckels - love them too - but I find myself reaching for the Kyoceras for most jobs because of their sharpness. This knife allows you to slice through large onions and get really thin slices with ease. Goes through meats like butter. This 7" knife is a new addition to the Kyocera line, and I'm glad they added it. The Revolution ... Read More
