KYOCERAInnovation Series 4Piece Ceramic Knife Set, Black Blade, Black Handle

Lightweight, comfortable a very well balanced, these ceramic knives make meal prep so much easier.

These are the best knives I have ever used. Very light, and they glide through veggies, chop beautifully, and clean easily. Although these Kyocera knives are not meant for heavy boning, they work well on raw and cooked boneless meats. I suggest a butcher knife for the heavy stuff.

I've owned two top-dollar German sets made of the 'best steel' and one set of U.S. made 40 years ago in the midwest. German sets given away. US set is still in use for when these ceramics are inappropriate. These ceramics are sharp....and stay sharp longer. Great!!!

The knifes were really sharp at first. After several uses they became dull, we also purchased the recommended sharpener with the set. Yet the sharpener is not sharpening the ceramic knifes as we taught. It might be the way I followed the sharpening instructions, I think I am following them correctly, but the ceramic knifes are not sharpening like we expected.

I'm replacing Kyocera knives that are over then years old. The old ones will be sent out for sharpening and gift to a grandchild. With careful use, these knives will stay sharp and last a long, long time.Yes, ceramic is brittle and does not hold up to dropping on tile floors, but I have had very good luck with mine.

I have had these knives before and that knife broke because I dropped it on the floor. I thought it was more user error and I really love how light and useable those knives were so I was going to be extra careful and bought a whole set (stupid). Anyway the new knife (biggest one in this collection) broke while cutting up carrots. CARROTS. Literally the second or third time I used it. Very disappointed.

Absolutely unbelievable so far.It cuts with total ease.Read about it before using it as it is not for everyone and every case. It can chip easily, so I've had to adjust my knife handling habits.I've twice nicked my fingers- just like a paper cut that does bleed- in the two weeks I've had this- something I never remember doing before. This is only because the blade is so sharp that any contact- even contact without pressure- will slice through our precious skin.Also, keep in mind that this is not for cutting everything. The manual says no bones, for example. So, you need to work with it in order to get its long-term benefits.Makes an awesome gift!

I love the set. If you plan to give this set as a gift however, the packaging needs improvement given how high the price is for these. What stood out most for me is the improved handle grip. It might not be as noticeable in the last picture showing an 8 year old santoku and the new one, but the handle doesn't feel as slick or slippery as it is on the old one. What remains the same is how the each blade's edge is super sharp. My finger can attest to that. The cut to it was so clean that I didn't notice it until I saw blood seeping out from the cut. And yes I was not being careless and luckily it was not a deep cut.

My boyfriend had a ceramic knife he brought from Japan over 10 years ago - by now it was a bit dull and the tip got chipped so, I decided to get him a new one for his birthday... After quite a bit of research I settled for the Kyocera 2-Piece Set and OMG, I WANT them as well! They are absolutely AMAZING! They just cut through anything - to the point where I'm worried about my boyfriend's fingers... He says they are even better than what he had initially and as an avid cook, I think he knows what he's talking about. And the box/gift-set is really beautiful, 200% gift-able! Definitely one of the best gifts I've ever got - if you know someone who likes cooking (= values good knives), this is a gift that's bound to be a HIT!

Seitdem ich die beiden Keramikmesser habe benutze ich meine Wüsthoff Messer deutlich seltener. Man muss nur wirklich aufpassen und nichts hartes oder gefrorenes mit den Messern schneiden, damit sie lange scharf bleiben und nicht kaputt gehen. Auch zum Knoblauchzehen zerdrücken oder Kürbis schneiden würde ich sie nicht benutzen, aber für alles andere sind sie wirklich bestens geeignet. Die Schärfe ist wirklich nochmal 2 Nummern über allem was ich bisher hatte, ich bin gespannt wie lange das so bleibt. Ich habe die Messer jetzt seit knapp 6 Monaten in regelmäßiger Benutzung.

Très facile d’utilisation. Très belle coupr

I've had Kyocera knives for a number of years, with at little care they can last for years and remain very sharp for a good length of time. Highly recommended.

ottimo taglio, addirittura troppoooooo. pur esendo un abile maneggiatore di lame mi sono tagliato anche io solo sfiorandolo senza nessuna pressione. Stupito positivamente
