Ceramic Knives

     Ceramic Blades are used on fine Chef Knives and Kitchen Cutlery and can now be found on pocket knives as well. There are two types of ceramic blades: zirconium carbide (black ceramic) and zirconium oxide (white ceramic). Zirconium is the second hardest material known to man- next to the diamond. The properties of ceramic make ceramic knife blades particularly wear and tear resistant. This means that a ceramic blade can hold its edge much longer than a traditional steel blade. Ceramic Blades are stain proof and rust proof. The non-stick surface of a ceramic blade is easy to clean and its light weight quality makes it a pleasure to use.
