Why Ceramic?
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Unrelenting SharpnessLike diamonds and sapphires, the elements of ceramic are formed in nature through thousands of years of crystallization, extreme temperatures, and literally tons of pressure. The result is a pure, dense, unrelenting material that is 50% harder than steel and close to diamond in hardness. Kyocera advanced ceramic blades offer superior edge retention, holding their edge longer than traditional kitchen knives, including high carbon steel. |
Unparalleled PurityIn addition to wear resistance, Kyocera advanced ceramic knives are chemically inert so foods look and taste the way they should. The smooth, polished surface resists germs and is impervious to acids, oils, and salts so cleaning up is easy to do, simply wash and let dry. Because they are ceramic, Kyocera knives and kitchen tools won’t brown foods, won’t transfer a metallic taste or smell, and will never rust. |
Ultra LightweightHalf the weight of traditional knives and kitchen tools, these products provide a new experience in cutting fruits and vegetables. Perfectly balanced and lightweight, Kyocera ceramic knives reduce fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks and make meal preparation easy and fun. |

Detailed information and advice:
--------------------------------
A bit of background information if you are unfamiliar with ceramic knives. There are basically three types of knives you can purchase:
1) High stainless steel knives - Fairly sharp, hold their edge well, somewhat difficult to sharpen. These are the knives that you are most likely to purchase at a store. Prices range from very cheap to very expensive (I own a Wusthof set, so I know how expensive they can get).
2) High carbon steel knives - Very sharp, dull easily, easy to sharpen. These are the cheapest, easiest to sharpen, and lose their edge the fastest. These also tend to be used by professionals (I managed over 80 "knife hands" early in my career and this is all we used - people would dull on average 6 per day).
3) Ceramic knives - Supremely sharp, hold their edge practically forever, impossible to sharpen. Expensive, and prone to breaking if not used properly.
Most people purchase high stainless steel knife sets, and these are adequate for general utility. But it's not the best strategy for a well prepared chef to follow. The best approach is to have multiple knives and use them for specialized purposes.
Here's what you should do:
1) Buy this ceramic set. Use it for everything except boning, prying, and crushing. Under no circumstance should you ever use it for boning, as you will likely chip the blade (i.e no knife work that requires any prying or side-to-side motion). Hand wash, and don't drop on your tile floor. They will last you forever and you will wonder why you ever used anything else. (I've owned a 5" ceramic utility for almost 10 years and it still hasn't required sharpening).
2) Go to your local restaurant supply store and buy at several 6" high carbon steel boning knives. They are generally very cheap, and very cheap looking. Use these knives for general cutting and boning. Sharpen them frequently (a quick run over a steel after every use is best).
If you follow this strategy you will be amazed at what you can do with the ceramics, and you will also have the best (and cheapest) boning knives to decrease the chance that you'll ever chip one of your ceramics.
Hope this helps anyone who has stumbled onto this backwater Amazon page in their pursuit of the ultimate knife!
I don't mind paying for quality products in the slightest, £114 plus £10.26 postage and packing for this set of excellent knives is well worth it IMHO. Sometimes if I am dieting and getting into shape I can eat seven times a day so I do a lot of food preparation daily.
*******HOWEVER ******* I went to AMAZON.COM and bought this exact same set and it cost me £53.31 Yes, you read that correctly. £70 cheaper !! Much less than half price than buying it from AMAZON.CO.UK. I have just copied and pasted my order below:
Item(s) Subtotal: GBP 37.61
Shipping & Handling: GBP 6.81
-----
Total before tax: GBP 53.31
Sales Tax: GBP 0.00
Import Fees Deposit GBP 8.89
-----
Total for This Shipment: GBP 53.31
Rip off Britain ??? It certainly seems like it.
I only got them from AMAZON.COM because a reviewer also mentioned how much cheaper it was. I bought them on 07/03/14 and they arrived at my house today 13/03/14. Six days to get here from the U.S.A. !
Now about the knives, well balanced, light, lightsaber like sharpness and they look fantastic to boot. I experimented with my steel knives and both of these Kyoceras with some grapes, bananas and tomatoes. It's like comparing a can of Fosters to Remy Martin Louis XIII. I wish I had bought a set of these years ago. They are truly something special. Also my mum tried them and mentioned how much easier they were to use, she suffers from arthritis and it looks like I will be buying another set for her.
I read many reviews and the only negative thing I found was how easy they can be damaged. Some people have used them for prying and boning - idiots. What did you expect ? People like you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near sharp knives anyway.They are only for specific tasks, they won't replace your entire knife set but they are an excellent addition and you will find yourself using them more and more. Your friends, families and neighbours will all want a set too
First of all, the handles. The handles are a smooth plastic feeling material. No surfacing for sure gripping or any friction to support precise gripping at all. They are curved and have good ergonomics (they fit your hand well and support a good feel during use, but a less than confident feel is still present from that smooth plastic.
Fat blades. The blades, being made of a brittle material, have to be made about twice as thick as my steel knives. That doesn't really hurt anything but it's noticeable.
Sharpened round tips. The tips don't come to a small point like steel knives do. This is probably because they are too brittle. But they come to a point that is rounded vertically, with the front end sharpened. So you could actually stab them into something. Not sure how well they work like that but it's an option.
Cutting: If you are the type of person who can not sharpen steel blades, these are great. They come with a sharp edge and they tend to hold it. But, OTOH, if you are like me and can get a good edge on the steal knives in your kitchen, you don't really need these. I'd consider them more of a fad, or knives on training wheels. I have steel knives that I've sharpened just as sharp or even more so than these. And they are a lot tougher.
All in all, they are a nice set for precise cutting. But you need to be careful with chopping. I can easily see how chipping could occur. I've cut vegetables and meats with them and they did a good job. But I took my time and was careful as not to get carried away and rotate them at all while the edge of the blade was partially embedded in the cutting board. Oh time will tell how brittle they are.
