Kyocera Ceramic Utility Knife

The advanced ceramic blade is significantly harder than steel, allowing it to retain its razor-sharp edge 8 to 10 times longer. Because it is chemically inert, it won't cause produce to brown or leave a metallic taste, making it excellent for slicing fruits and vegetables.

While the manufacturer states it is dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. Ceramic blades are brittle and can chip or crack if they knock against other dishes or utensils in the dishwasher.

This size is perfect for precision tasks that require agility, such as peeling, trimming, or slicing small fruits and vegetables. It is less suited for heavy-duty chopping or cutting through bone and frozen foods, which can damage the ceramic edge.

Not at all. The lightweight construction is a deliberate design choice meant to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. While it feels different than a weighted steel knife, the balance and sharpness provide a very precise cutting experience.

No, you should avoid using glass, stone, or ceramic cutting boards. These hard surfaces will dull or chip the ceramic blade quickly; a wood or plastic cutting board is the best choice to maintain the edge.
