I bought this knife for my mother as a Christmas gift. It cuts very well and has stayed as sharp as it was out of the box for almost a whole year now! Im very impressed with ceramic blades. Im pretty sure she only uses this knife and another ceramic Kyocera knife I got her. It makes cutting almost anything in the kitchen very easy. Hightly recommended!!!

I love these knives This is my second one and I intend to give them as gifts this year to my daughters and daughter in laws

It is quite sharp, as sharp as my Shun utility knife but it doesn't fit the hand as well and feels a bit awkward and lite. I probably need to get used to it. But is a good value for what seems to be a good quality knife. The ceramics, rigid and hard and prone to chipping if miss used so they're recommended mainly for slicing and this one works great for that.

This was a gift for someone that has wanted a ceramic knife for a very long time. The product is great, and we received it very quickly.

Well made, attractive, simple in form & function, does the job nicely. Before I owned 3 ceramic knives, I used it to hold my steel usuba as well. With the growing popularity of ceramic knives, perhaps in the future, they'll make a larger knife block.

I got this as a test--to see how a ceramic blade would compare with high-end Japanese and German steel.

The result--pretty good. It's very handsome--especially the black blade--but so light in the hand that it's a bit hard to control, and there are lots of "don't"s (Don't pry, twist, drop, or hack) that require attentiveness in using it. Out of the box, it's amazingly sharp, but the keen edge did not hold up very long--a big surprise. Although I didn't attempt a scientific comparison, my guess is that the edge did not last any longer than the blades made by Shen, Mac, and Wustof. Restoring that edge, of course, is a specialized business that Kyocera recommends not be done at home.

And so, I still find occasional use for this implement, but less and less as time gows on. I am sure that for light use, it will be more than satisfactory. For more than that, the competition seems to be ahead.
