Kyocera Advanced Ceramic Revolution Series 3-inch Paring Knife, White Handle, White Blade

This is a sharp ceramic paring knife which cuts through foods easily. — THE BLADE — I ordered the all white knife (handle and blade). The handle is plastic, and the blade is made of proprietary ceramic. The knife is razor sharp and will easily cut through foods like fish and meat (not bones!), and other soft foods. Because of the chemical structure of the blade, it makes it unaffected by juices, oils, salts, and other elements. It also will never rust. if you need to sharpen it at some point you should get the Kyocerca Advanced Ceramic Electric Diamond Knife Sharpener , which is made just for these ceramic knives. — THE BRITTLENESS — Now comes the downsides of having a ceramic blade: it's brittle. You can't have something incredibly strong without a weakness. Steel has a weakness: moisture. Even Superman has a weakness. Please handle this knife and blade carefully. If not properly handled, you can easily nick or crack the blade. Be careful of what you are cutting because you will ruin the blade if you cut something hard that you aren't supposed to. You *must* hand wash this, and do not just toss/throw it in the sink! Dry it separately from your flatware, and store it in a separate drawer (I store mine in a delicate kitchen utensils drawer). This is a great paring knife that is well designed, and is very sharp. Recommended.

Couteau parfait

This is my first experience with a Kyocera ceramic pairing knife. I have been using it almost 3 weeks, mainly to cut fruits and what surprises me is the weightless feeling of holding the knife in your hand and the smooth cut you get. It's can be too sharp for comfort if you are not careful handling it. The price may seem a little high but you pay for its quality and workmanship. So, press the buy button if you intend to get one. No regrets, only satisfaction. The best decision you will ever make and money well spent.

白い食器や調理器具を集めていて、白いナイフを見つけたので買いました。以前使っていたものより、京セラ製は非常に切りやすく、安全のため、先も丸くなっているのが、使い勝手がいいです。これからも、大きな包丁も白にしたいです。セラミックとてもいいです。

I’d forgotten how sharp these are when they are new - not the easiest to get hold of nowadays, but an awesome knife
