Ceramic kitchen knives are becoming the knives of choice by some of the leading chiefs of the world. There are several reasons for this. Those paper thin slices of fish you find on sushi are a breeze to cut with a ceramic knife and they leave behind none of that metal taste you get from a regular steel knife. You don’t want to use them for boning meat or any twisting motion because they are more brittle than steel but for almost all other uses they are now considered superior.
Ceramic kitchen knives are made from zirconium dioxide, one of the most studied of all ceramic materials. Zirconia is very useful in its ‘stabilized’ state and when it is used to manufacture ceramic kitchen knives, they are almost impossible to blunt due to their hardness plus they stay sharp almost indefinitely. They never rust and they never stain and no microbes means they are much more hygienic than metal, plus they are much lighter than steel and are therefore much easier to handle.
The ceramic production process of a ceramic kitchen knife is quite interesting. This video shows the whole process, from mining the raw material, to the finished product.
All in all, ceramic kitchen knives, have a great combination of benefits and since our first use of them, we have used them exclusively. I’ll bet the same could be true for you as well. If you appreciate the value that a good tool brings to an endeavor, you will love owning and using ceramic kitchen knives.
