Summary: Sharp. Did I say sharp? Really sharp.
Comment: This knife has an edge that's truly amazing. Only had it a month or so, so I can't say how long it will hold up, but I'm impressed so far.
I'm a sharpness fanatic, with every variation on sharpening technology that I can get my hands on. This knife is as good as the very best edge I can ever get on my best carbon steel knives. This has become the go-to blade for cutting wafer-thin tomato slices and such.
Only down side - despite pretty careful handling, it got a tiny chip on the cutting edge. I have to assume that it's fragile. Haven't tried sharpening it yet. Hoping a fine diamond hone is the right tool.

Summary: Great paring knife
Comment: This size is great for fine detail - I'm sure if I knew how to cut a rose out of a carrot or tomato, this would be the knife to use.
These are some of the best knives ever - just be careful not to drop them, as they are more brittle than steel, and will break under certain conditions. I'd recommend getting a knife sharpener that is meant for ceramic blades - as a steel sharpener will ruin a ceramic blade. Finally, don't use on stone, glass or stainless steel cutting surfaces, as the super-fine edge will wear much more quickly.
One feature (some like it/some hate it) is they are very light in weight, and if you are used to a nice set of steel knives, it might take a while to get used to the feel.
Great knives.

Summary: Light , easy holding and sharper than anything around!
Comment: I have a 6" and now the 3 " ceramic knifes in my set and I am amazed each time I use one of them. The knife is so light, sharp and easy to use on any type of surface which makes this the essential for all those who like to get a clean even cut every time. No matter what you are cutting they all feel like you are cutting through butter. It will surprise you each time you find a new use or type of cut you can make with this 3" marvel.
An essential in the kitchen, the hunting rig and the toolbox.

Summary: The best paring knife there is! Ceramic is way better than steel.
Comment: I have had one of these for 4 years now and we love it. Can cut through almost anything, never needs sharpening, doesnt leave that metallic taste on your food like regular knives. I recommend the whole Kyocera ceramic knife set. They are expensive but worth it in the long run. Kyocera is the best in the industry at ceramics so I wouldnt have expected any less. They also make wireless phones--that is probably where you have heard of them. I bought this knife for my mother-in-law and she loves it too! Even the warranty is great--once, we dropped it from about shoulder height onto the tile floor and it hit on the tip. Well the tip broke off. It was still usable but I remembered reading how you can send it back to Kyocera for sharpening or for chips and they will grind it back to perfection. So thats what I did. They charge you only $17 and in our case they just sent us a brand new knife! That was a nice surprise. Amazon has the cheapest prices on these. You can find them at Williams Sonoma and Sur la Table but the price is way more.
