Ceramic knives offer exceptional strength, unparalleled sharpness, and ultra-light weight. An Oriental-style santoku knife is just right for sushi and sashimi, slicing mushrooms or anything else that needs to be sliced paper thin, mincing ginger, and scoring meat and fish. The paring knife is the ideal tool for peeling, paring, and cutting fruits and vegetables. And, because ceramic doesn't transfer metal ions to foods, fruits and vegetables won't brown where they've come in contact with the knife blade. The razor sharp blade retains its original sharpness for months or years without sharpening. The light weight of ceramic creates a well-balanced knife that is an extension of your hand, gliding effortlessly through even the most difficult tasks. The resin handle provides a highly controlled grip, and the non-stick ceramic blade surface makes for easy clean-up. Gift-boxed set of 2: 5½" Santoku knife and 3" paring knife, with black blades and handles. The strength and density of fine ceramic allows grinding to microscopic precision by diamond wheels. This hardness translates into a rock-like edge which retains its edge 10 times longer than conventional steel blades. Made in Japan. Five year limited warranty against breakage (does not cover cutting bones, prying, or flexing). Contact us for re-sharpening service.

Beautiful kitchen accessory:
These porceline knives work as advertised. They are sharp enough to shave with and they are sharp like you can't believe. Follow the instructions, straight cuts for everything and no bones in meat! I've used them on vegetables and bread, they're very easy to use. I don't yet know how long the edge is going to last, but the instructions say that we need to return them to Kyrcera for sharpening. If the edge lasts 10 times longer than any steel edge as they say, they'll last a good long time.
A Very Nice Addition To The Kitchen:
Wow, these ceramic knives really are different and very useful. I bought this set in July, and to tell the truth I've only used the paring knife, as I learn about where I like to use them. My other Santoku knives are pretty good and I didn't do much prep in the kitchen over the summer. OK so as they recommend these knives are somewhat restrained to straight cuts, but that is most of the food prep activity anyway. They take special care, and I am worried about what I'm going to do when they need... more info
Hot knife through butter:
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.
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.
