Product Description: These 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 this wear and holds its edge for months to years without sharpening. It holds its edge much longer than steel and lasts many months or years without sharpening. Stain and rust-resistant, the blade is impervious to the food acids, which discolor steel products and no metallic taste or smell will be absorbed your food from the knife. A non-stick ceramic surface makes for easy cleanup and a lightweight and perfect balance make it a pleasure to use. What more could you ask for, especially since Kyocera knives come with a five year limited warranty against breakage (does not cover cutting bones, prying or flexing).

Rating: - Actually, it stays sharp for years
Kyocera ceramics are the sharpest knives I've ever seen or used in a career marked by years of professional cooking. But that is well known; an argument that need not be advanced by me. I want to respond to the reviewer who complained that his knife lost its keen edge after two months use. I've been slicing tomatoes and other soft fruits and vegetables with this knife for more than five years, not just on weekends but day in and day out in a commercial kitchen. It remains as sharp today as when I took it out of the box. I suspect that the unhappy reviewer was misusing the knife by cutting ... Read More
Rating: - SHARP and Safe
This is the first ceramic knife I have ever used. It slices easily and effortlessly through a variety of foodstuffs, yet when I pressed it to my finger, I came away unscathed. I'm sure it would slice skin as easily as everything else, but I didn't want to try it out. The blade cleans easily. I'm hooked.
Rating: - Good knife but...
i am a weekend cooking enthusiast, and use my knives extensively on weekends. the quality of knives -at least to me- greatly influences cooking enjoyment, and often influences the quality of the end product (aesthetically, and dull knives can tear, crush and sap the juice out of stuff).
i do own other quality knives, and am a bit of a sharpening nazi. i saw this kyocera knife and was curius about the proposition: very sharp, very long lasting blade? nice. plus the white blade is a nice design tuch in my mind.
out of the box, it cut through stuff like a jedi sword through ... Read More
Rating: - nice knife
Overall I like this knife. The only drawback is the price - it's expensive - but then you are paying for the quality and technology. We bought the slicing knife - It is VERY sharp! The first thing I sliced was an orange, and it cut through it like it was warm butter. I haven't had it long enough to say if it holds it's edge longer than a conventional metal blade, but they do have a mail in resharpening service for a minimal cost if the blade ever does need sharpening. I would recommend this product.
