Product Description: These Kyocera ceramic knives are a unique alternative to metal-based knives, 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 this wear and holds its edge for months to years without sharpening. Stain and rust-resistant, the blade is impervious to food acids that can discolor steel products, and will not transfer any metallic taste or smell to your food. A non-stick ceramic surface makes for easy cleanup and a lightweight and perfect balance make it a pleasure to use. This set includes a 3-1/2 inch paring knife and a 5-1/2 inch santoku knife, both of which are backed by a five year limited warranty against breakage. (Does not cover cutting bones, prying, or flexing).

Love this product. Incredibly sharp, hardly any effort needed to cut most meats, not to mention vegetables. Will be looking to acquire more of this product.
Rating: - sharp!
I was a sous chef for a couple of years and am always on the lookout for quality knives. I can say with no difficulty that these are the sharpest knives I've ever come across. The only problem was they took about 10 business days to arrive.

Be very, very careful. These are the sharpest knives I have ever dealt with. I have used it for fish, vegetables, boneless meats, and cheeses. You can make cuts as thin as you want, and the consistency of the cut is amazing. This set is a good introduction, and I am so happy with it that I plan on getting some of the other knives over time. The knives cut well and are very easy to clean...what else could you want?
