5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy sharp - very awesome knife for the money., May 26, 2008

This knife is insanely awesome.

I am not a professional chef, I'm just a guy that watches food network and tries everything. I have a fair collection of kitchen tools (a 7" Shun/Ken Onion knife, a wustof [however its spelled]), and I do like to cook.

This knife is insanely sharp. When I first got it, I was messing around with an onion to see how thin I could slice it and it was so easy. Its inert - so theres no metal taste, and cake to clean. I've treated it well, and only used it for slicing/cutting.

You're not supposed to smash stuff with it, or use too much force. While I'm no expert, I've always understood that if you're using a knife that requires a crapload of force, you probably need to get it sharpened or get a new knife. I suspect the reviews regarding the chipping/breaking of these ceramic knives are probably due to heavy force use - and ceramic or not, I dont think a 3" pairing knife is the right tool for such a job.

While I can't say that I use this knife 24x7, but it is definitely a great compliment to the other knives/tools/items in my kitchen - and if you've got a knife block that you've added items to, you'll find this is an excellent addition for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly "The Cutting Edge", January 11, 2008

WOW! This is my first Kyocera - but it won't be the last. I just got it today and put it through it's paces.........a very soft tomato, went right through it, crisp celery, neat and clean, no strings, pared a tater in nothing flat. By comparison, I received a less expensive ceramic knife set for Christmas..........not nearly as sharp as the Kyocera. Can't wait to get a few more. Highly recommend this brand - no kitchen should be without at least one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sharp knife, September 2, 2009

This review is from: Kyocera Revolution Series 3-1/7- Inch Paring Knife with Red Handle, White Blade (Kitchen)

These ceramic knives are fabulous - sharp, light, and durable. The only problem with the paring knife is that it is so small and light, it's easy to forget how sharp it is and cut yourself (voice of experience). Unbeatable for cutting soft vegetables, such as tomatoes.
