someone has already answer your question...

Ceramic is lighter. Some find them better balanced. I lean towards steel because Im used to the balancing.

There are Dozens of advantages of ceramic over cheap steel knives, but high quality steel knives share those advantages.

No rusting/discoloring/affecting food taste/can go for ages without sharpening/well balanced/etc/etc/etc

sashimi knives are the knives of choice used by asian gangsters to kill people.

strong
sharp
easy to obtain
and just right for getting in between ribs to puncture lungs.

Nice thread crap

hehe 🙂

the problem with ceramic knives is that they're extremely brittle (and expensive). there's a reason why you don't see the iron chefs use these knives, when they have the best of everything else.

It isn't metal... ceramic... 😀

 

[doinmybestatlast]

Ceramic guns are available also. Good only for one clip. I hope the government mandates radium or some other chemical that fluoresces under x-rays in the ceramic mix.

Can be used for Hari Kari once the realization of what you just blew $500 bucks on sets in...

...of course seeing as quite a few on these forums would plop that cash on the latest soon-to-be-obsolete vid card, umm... 😉

Pretty knife, but I doubt the veracity of any seller that misrepresents their goods:

From the site that makes this blade (See their fax):

?Q. What are ceramic knives made of?

A. These knives are made of an advanced, high-tech ceramic called zirconium oxide (also called zirconia). This material, which is second in hardness only to diamond?


Cubic zirconia is ~ 8.5 on the relative Mohs scale.
Tungsten Carbide is 9
Silicon Carbide 9-9.5
Boron Carbide is 9.5-9.9

The Mohs scale is ?relative.? so the difference between 8.5 and 9.5 is actually great.

I don?t know if Boron Carbide or other ceramic based, or sintered materials are used in knivemaking but clearly cubic (or the softer silicon) zirconia is not in any way ?second to diamond.?-

I'll stick with a handcrafted mokume gane, or Damascus knife...

 

[RideFree]

Your information is not correct.
1. These knives are not Cubic Zirconium (which you seem to be comparing them to).
2. Zirconium Oxide has a hardness of 8.2 mohs.
3. Not all of the substances you mention are made into cutting edges...
4. In comparison to the Diamond edge, Zirconium Oxide is probably second in hardness and probably first in sharpness.
(However, I believe that nothing is as sharp as a Chert chip. At least, that's what my Archaeology Prof. said.)

Tungsten Carbide is a coating used to enhance endurance in extreme wear applications.
Silicon Carbide is commonly an abrasive coating, as is Boron Carbide.
Boron Carbide also has many similar uses like Tungsten Carbide in negating extreme wear.


As far as knives, I never graduated above a Buck or Gerber. 😀😀😀

oh no! terrorists are gonna start using ceramic box cutters.

they have some nice katanas there since everyone seems to be straying from the fact that you cant make sushi with a katana.
