Kyocera Revolution Series 5.5" Ceramic Santoku Knife - Professional Chef Knife with Yellow Handle & White Blade for Slicing, Dicing, and Chopping - Perfect for Home Kitchens and Professional Cooking

Update: I've had this knife for almost a year and the sharpness is still extremely sharp! No dulling and I've never had to send the knife in for sharpening. It still gets used daily in the kitchen, from boneless meat to vegetables and fruit. I love it so much because there's so little maintenance required to keep the blade sharp (just don't cut bones). I'm looking forward to buying a Chef's version of the Kyocera ceramic knives because I love this santoku knife so much!As a big fan of steel knives I was very surprised with the sharpness of this knife. I mainly use this knife for cutting vegetables and fruit. The knife itself is a great addition to any kitchen. I prefer the black blade to the white blade and bought the knife based on aesthetic preferences, but the black blade is made from black zirconium oxide and offers extra durability and also goes through an extra firing process according to Kyocera's website, so that was a plus when purchasing the knife.First off, the knife is very light and the blade is not at all heavy. For people who use steel knives on a daily basis this may take some time getting used to. The knife does an excellent job cutting through vegetables and fruits; however, I don't recommend using it for meat with bones, tough meat, or anything hard. I have used the knife to cut chicken breasts and thighs and cut thin slices of steak just fine. To prevent chipping I hand wash the knife and lay it on a microfiber cloth to dry. Don't put it in the dishwasher or it'll damage the knife.This is a great ceramic knife for anyone looking for their first ceramic or another ceramic for their knife collection. I use the knife on a daily basis in conjunction with my steel knives, and so far my knife hasn't chipped yet and has held its edge well. My only gripe is that the blade is brittle and fragile compared to steel knives.
