3" Chic Chefs Horizontal Ceramic Knife

3" Chic Chefs Horizontal Ceramic Knife - White + Black (6.7CM-Blade)

I decided to order a kitchen ceramic knife, because the Internet has increasingly come across information that is super knife. In general, "Knife of the 21st century."

For those who do not know what Ceramic Knife:

Excerpt from Wikipedia 

A ceramic knife is a knife made out of very hard and tough ceramic, often zirconium dioxide (ZrO2; also known as zirconia). These knives are usually produced by dry pressing zirconia powder and firing them through solid-state sintering. The resultant blade is sharpened by grinding the edges with a diamond-dust-coated grinding wheel. Zirconia ranks 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, compared to 6 to 6.5 for hardened steel, and 10 for diamond. This very hard edge rarely needs sharpening.

Properties:Ceramic knives will not corrode in harsh environments, are non-magnetic, and do not conduct electricity. Because of their resistance to strong acid and caustic substances, and their ability to retain a cutting edge longer than forged metal knives, ceramic knives are a much more suitable culinary tool for slicing boneless meat, vegetables and fruit. Since they are brittle they may break if dropped on a hard surface, and cannot be used for chopping through bones, or frozen foods, or in other applications which require prying, which may result in chipping or catastrophic failure. Several brands now offer a black colored blade made through an additional hot isostatic pressing (HIP) step, which improves the toughness.

Tips on use and care tips:

    * When working with a ceramic kitchen knife should take all precautionary measures as cutting blade with a very sharp tool.

    * It should be remembered that the knife is intended solely for cutting food. It can not be used as a blade for mixing or transferring pieces of food as a weapon or for minor repairs.
