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).

 Actually, it stays sharp for years June 27, 2008
Maxwell Johnson (Orlando,, FL, USA)
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 on the wrong type of surface, dragging the blade against bone or otherwise asking the knife to do things that it was not designed to do, and which the manufacturer clearly says not to do.
Use it properly and you may never find out how well and quickly Kyocera can resharpen it for you.
SHARP and Safe May 1, 2008
Jean Ray (San Fernando Valley, CA)
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.
 Good knife but... April 23, 2008
Paul Liesenberg (bay area, california)
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 imperial soldiers. the force was with me. :-) very impressive... ripe tomatoes submitted to the blade without losing a single unneccessary drop of juice, for example. for a while there it was my favorite knife to use.
but after 2 months the blade is starting to noticeably dull. and the drawback is that you'd have to send it back to kyocera for a (admittedly cheap) sharpening service. mind you, it still cuts very well, but know i actualy have gone back to use other knives (global, caphalon santoku, henckels professional s) that are my usual favorites, and which i can quickly sharpen before use for that ultimate edge, every time out.
so i have mixed feelings about this knife, because for the price you can get a very high end steel product that you can keep ultra-sharp every time out. and i admit i kind of enjoy sharpening knives. :-)
but if you are not into sharpening kinves, then i imagine the kyocera is a great investment for your kitchen, because it will indeed keep a very usable edge for a long time indeed. just make sure you don't drop or twist it unneccessarily - these things are reported to shatter!
nice knife January 24, 2008
Kitchen Godess (Keno, OR USA)
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.
