The truth about ceramic knives.
Ceramic knives are incredibly durable and feature sharp precision blades for a relatively low price tag compared to other types of knives.
With a reflective black veneer finish these knives will surely fit in anyone s kitchen.
For example while they retain their edge very well longer than steel blades in fact they are prone to chipping if used on bone or other hard surfaces.
A ceramic knife should not and will not replace a chef s knife says erkkinen.
Chips can be fixed with a sharpening but we still do not.
The blade is sharpened so thin that anything hard can put a chip on the tip.
There are only three knives a 6 inch chef knife a 4 inch utility knife and a 3 inch paring knife but they look at lot sleeker than most of the cheaper ceramic knives.
Ceramic knives can be a great addition to any kitchen however they do come with a few caveats.
The elite chef ceramic knives are made of 100 ceramic and are non corrosive rust proof and non reactive to acids oils or moisture.
The knife can be dropped tip down without shattering but the thin tip and edge can chip away.
The reason is that they ve got a smooth black ergonomic handle and they have a rough area near the blade to help you control the blade.
