Kyocera Revolution Series Ceramic Santoku, Chef Knife for Your Cooking Needs, 5.5”, Red

Update 2 1/2 years after purchasing first knife: I just ordered a replacement for our blue handle knife after 2 1/2 years of daily use, this time I picked green! My husband and I are plant based, always chopping up veggies and fruits, so this is the perfect knife for us. As you can see in the photo there is obvious staining and chips, one chip being larger than the rest. The big chip was from trying to slice through the stem of a squash last fall (a big no-no). I’ve continued to use the knife daily even with the chip and it works great, although sometimes slightly catching on that spot. I finally decided it was time to replace dear Blue. This is my go-to knife that fits just right in my hand and is practically perfect for every cutting job! Order this knife, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we do! Old review: We ordered this knife along with a paring knife and they are wonderful! We only cut fruit and veggies with them, and they are super SHARP! I highly recommend pairing your cermaic knife with something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079ZQTWMG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 We have one and it seriously cut the time down on pico de gallo and other recipes that require a lot of chopping/dicing. We also love how beautiful these knives are! Highly recommend!

This is a great knife to explore use of ceramic knives. It's much lower in price than many other ceramics, so I thought I'd give it a whirl to see if I liked ceramic knives, and could avoid breaking them. I LOVE the knife! It's my go-to knife now, having displaced a number of Henckels, Shun, and other excellent steel knives. This is so much sharper than any of my steel knives ever were, and has propelled my cooking to the next level - being able to handle the prep work more easily and with greater precision has made a noticeable improvement in the results. Durability: I've knocked this about more than I care to admit, expecting several times it was a goner. Pleasantly surprised. I have NOT dropped it on the tile yet. Don't expect that will work out as well, but so far a lot less delicate than I imagined. Cut myself: yes. Sucker is SHARP. Color: I thought about a similar knife in black blade & handle but decided on red/white to instantly recognize it as the ceramic. Glad I did. Conclusion: would get this again in a heartbeat. I believe that other ceramics may be even nicer than this, and will likely get others now that I've tested the water, but this is an excellent value and an excellent knife at the price. I'd get it again. UPDATE: I *have* dropped in on the tile floor. Still working great... Ken - Author of " The Pellet Stove Almanack: Home Heating Joins the 21st Century "

For those of you who have not tried out ceramic knives, I think you will be impressed with just how good they are. I read somewhere that they don't have quite as sharp an edge as a freshly dressed high-end steel knife, but unless you enjoy sharpening knives regularly, I find these to be excellent. For cutting fruits and vegetables, I don't think anything is better. And I swear the produce doesn't turn brown afterward like they sometimes do after cutting with a steel knife. I don't use these for meat since the edge might come into contact with a bone and, well, ceramic knives are brittle so they can and will chip if you don't take care of them. Every few years you can send them back to Kyocera for sharpening. This is where they remove small chips and put a nice new edge on your blades for a low cost ($10 or so). PROS: Stay sharp for years Lightweight CONS: Brittle, so you need to handle them carefully Kind of look like a toy so I would be concerned if I had younger kids Wash by hand to avoid chipping

**update- I sent the knife back once after it chipped. They either fixed it or sent a new one. It wasn't long before it happened again. The process you have to go through is to send it to them, they "inspect" it and decide if it was your fault or not, based on that, they may sharpen, smooth the chip out, or replace the knife. I had to fight them the first time - prove where I bought it, when I bought it, how it broke, why it broke, why I thought it wasn't my fault. When the knife broke the second time my life was in upheaval, the knife was pretty low on my list and I didn't want to go through the inquisition. We moved and I came across the box with the knife - so I figured I'd update this review. Since it was the second time, I figured they would blame me, not their product and I was in no mood to go through that process. I didn't drop it, treat it roughly, or cut anything I shouldn't have. Don't get it, I'm not the only one this happened to. A good knife shouldn't have to be babied so much, and still break. Pathetic. C.S. is also pathetic... they don't really care about making the customer happy or loyal. I used to think Kyocera was a good brand, not so much now. I am amazed at how effortlessly this knife cuts. The knife feels good in your hand, well balanced and comfortable. Be very careful when using this knife - it is wicked sharp!

Wonderful knife!! It has outlasted usage by friends and well-meaning neighbors and still chops away!
