Summary: Handle with care
Comment: This knife is very sharp. It is also more fragile than most steel knives. Wife was totally pleased with it until she dropped it and chipped the blade on the ceramic tile kitchen floor.

One of the things she likes best is the way it does not bruise or darken fruits(apples) and vegetables(lettuce) after cutting.

Summary: As seen on TV.
Comment: I bought this knife after seeing how they are made on a television show. I have been very pleased with it's performance.

The knife is only for cutting through flesh - fruit, vegetables and boneless meat only. Do not expect to use this knife on bone-in meat without chipping the knife.

As far as cutting, it is very sharp. I get clean and easy cuts, including frozen meat. I was running late making dinner one night, pulled out a package of frozen chicken breast and chopped it into slices in no time.

The manufacturer recommends this knife be cleaned and stowed immediately after use - if you leave in in the bottom of a stainless steel sink, be prepared for a dull and/or shattered knife (when you forget the knife is in the sink and you drop in a heavy pan). Hand wash only!

My only gripe is the handle. As mentioned in other reviews, it is very smooth with no features to grip - it can get slippery with prolonged use.

Editorial Reviews:

Kyocera Ceramic knives are a unique alternative to metal-based versions with a resin handle for a highly controlled grip. Unlike a forged metal blade, which is soft and susceptible to chemical corrosion, the Kyocera zirconium oxide blade resists wear and holds its edge for months to years without sharpening. Stain and rust-resistant, the blade is impervious to food acids, which discolor steel products. No metallic taste or smell will be transferred to your food, and the non-stick ceramic surface makes for easy cleanup. What more could you ask for, especially since Kyocera knives come with a five year limited warranty against breakage.
