Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm very impressed with the ceramic blade of this Kyocera knife. You can see here on Amazon that Kyocera is making a submarket with this ceramic technology. It really delivers -- it's sharp, light, and seems strong in the up/down direction. I've used a lot of different knives across the price spectrum for a broad range of cooking tasks, and this one slices cleaner, faster, easier than any knife I've ever used.
I never *really* imagined using a knife this sharp. It's what I imagine a hand-crafted Spanish Toledo steel sword or Samurai blade would be like. Except smaller. And lighter. And white.
However, be careful! Because it is both very lightweight and very sharp, the knife handles differently than any knife I've used before. And it is sharp enough to do real damage quite quickly. For instance, I received one of these knives as a gift from a friend who had recently got one for herself. It turns out that we *both* cut our fingers in the first few weeks of using our fancy new knives! In each case, we sliced through a fingernail that with a less-sharp knife might have afforded some protection. (I'm typing now with a bandage on my index finger.) I will be very attentive while using this knife from now on!
But, you know, it is a really nice, sharp knife.
The knife comes with care instructions that emphasize the the brittleness of the blade to lateral forces: don't knck the edge against anything hard, don't smack the flat of the blade to crush garlic. No dishwasher.
The special care is a small price for having such a unique knife in the kitchen!

Product Description:
The Kyocera Revolution 5-1/2-inch Santoku knife performs a wide variety of cutting tasks, from fine chopping to dicing and paper-thin slicing. The Santoku, a Japanese-style chef's knife, features a broad blade and low tip for less rocking action than a classic European chef's knife. Impervious to acids, juices, oils, and salts, this fine ceramic knife leaves no metallic taste or odor and helps to maintain the freshness of fruit and vegetables. The razor-sharp blade retains its original sharpness 10 times longer than steel knives. Because the ceramic blade is so light, no artificial weight is added to the handle. This creates an extremely balanced, lightweight tool that reduces fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
Kyocera's most popular line, the Revolution series features deeper blades for greater knuckle clearance. Comfortable, ergonomic resin handles provide precise control. Distinctive shape makes the knives easy to find and easy to use. Offered in black- and white-bladed versions, these sleek, ultra-sharp knives are ideal for everyday use on fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats. They're made in Japan and should be washed by hand. All Kyocera ceramic products are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for five years.
