Ceramic knives
If you do get one, know that they are very brittle, especially the edge which can theoretically be one molecule thick.
Back in the 1990s I purchased a Kyocera ceramic cooks knife for over $100. Because of its fragility it turned out to be impractical. I still have it in the collection. The other drawback is they are no good for cutting meat, as the smooth sides tend to stick to the meat and drag. For fruit and veg. they are awesome. I think a ceramic “cut throat” razor would be a winner. I’ve shaved with the one in the picture and still have, at least, half my face still attached.
For the low price of a couple of dollars you can now try one out. Don’t expect to pass it on to your children but it’s a small price to check one out. I wouldn’t get a set of kitchen knives (also on sale) for the reasons stated.
Anyone else experienced ceramic blades.
On a different topic. I notice that the emporiums are now selling cutaway pad locks to practice on for a very reasonable price.
