Details about it

Properties

Ceramic knives are substantially harder than steel knives, will not corrode in harsh environments, are non-magnetic, and do not conduct electricity at room temperature. Because of their resistance to strong acid and caustic substances, and their ability to retain a cutting edge longer than forged metal knives,ceramic knives are better suited for slicing boneless meat, vegetables, fruit and bread. Since ceramics are brittle, blades may break if dropped on a hard surface although improved manufacturing processes have reduced this risk. They are also unsuitable for chopping through bones, or frozen foods, or in other applications which require prying, which may result in chipping. Several brands now offer either a black-coloured or a designed blade made through an additional hot isostatic pressing step, which increases the toughness.

Unrelenting Sharpness

Kyocera advanced ceramic blades offer superior edge retention, holding their edge longer than traditional kitchen knives. Brand new ceramic, high carbon, and stainless steel knives were put to the test through a Honda testing machine. A stack of paper was used as the test subject matter due to its more abrasive nature over fruits and vegetables. The sharpness tester held each blade with a constant force against the paper producing a 3.5” slicing action. The test was repeated 1,000 times, and ultimately the Kyocera ceramic blade stayed sharper much longer than the other two blades.

Unparalleled Purity

In addition, to wear resistance, Kyocera advanced ceramic knives are chemically inert so foods look and taste the way they should. The smooth, polished surface resists germs and is impervious to acids, oils, and salts so cleaning up is easy to do, simply wash and let dry. Because they are ceramic, Kyocera knives and kitchen tools won’t brown foods, won’t transfer a metallic taste or smell, and will never rust.

So Why Should You Use Ceramic Knives?

There are several reasons that ceramic knives have a reputation for being the best.

For starters, ceramic knives are much more durable than metal knives, and as you have seen, they are harder too. Several brands (such as Kyocera) are manufacturing a black, specially designed blade which has undergone an additional hot isostatic pressing step, thereby increasing the durability of the knife.

Ceramic knives retain their cutting edge much longer than metal knives and rarely need to be sharpened (more on that below in the section “Sharpening ceramic knives”) in the same way that steel knives do, however the blade will eventually degrade, chip or lose its cutting edge. Unlike steel knives, specialized services are needed to sharpen ceramic blades.

Due to their sharpness, ceramic knives are excellent for thinly slicing meat, vegetables, fruit, and even bread. These knives make for a healthy addition to your kitchen, complementary to your healthy pots and pans.

Ceramic knives are also easy to clean, don’t absorb odors, and they’re lighter than their steel counterparts.
