Forget about steel knives. For a knife that retains sharpness and is easy to use, go ceramic. Ceramic knives hold their edge at least 10 times longer than traditional knives so you'll enjoy precision sharpness every time you use them. In addition these knives won't brown foods or transfer a metallic taste so your creations will always look and taste the way it should. Since Ceramic is impervious to acids, oils and salts, they'll never rust. And because they're typically half the weight of traditional cutlery, Kyocera ceramic knives are exceptionally comfortable to use-even for lengthy repetitive cutting tasks. Use with a plastic or wood cutting board for longer life and durability.

Excellent Knife and Price:
This is an excellent ceramic paring knife at a great price. Works better than steel at cutting meat, but can't replace steel, as crushing through joints, etc. would be risky. A nice addition to an existing kitchen knife collection.
Crazy sharp - very awesome knife for the money.:
This knife is insanely awesome. I am not a professional chef, I'm just a guy that watches food network and tries everything. I have a fair collection of kitchen tools (a 7" Shun/Ken Onion knife, a wustof [however its spelled]), and I do like to cook. This knife is insanely sharp. When I first got it, I was messing around with an onion to see how thin I could slice it and it was so easy. Its inert - so theres no metal taste, and cake to clean. I've treated it well, and only used it for... more info
Truly "The Cutting Edge":
WOW! This is my first Kyocera - but it won't be the last. I just got it today and put it through it's paces.........a very soft tomato, went right through it, crisp celery, neat and clean, no strings, pared a tater in nothing flat. By comparison, I received a less expensive ceramic knife set for Christmas..........not nearly as sharp as the Kyocera. Can't wait to get a few more. Highly recommend this brand - no kitchen should be without at least one!
