Ceramic Cutlery
If you are thinking about doing up your kitchen and replacing some of your kitchenware, then you might want to go for the more elegant options. For an extra touch with this kind of style, ceramic cutlery makes the perfect complement. However, it’s far more than just aesthetics that make ceramic cutlery a good choice in many different situations.

"I have purchased about 5 sharpeners (black ceramic, 4 diamond sharpeners) that were supposed to sharpen ceramic knives. My wife brought this model back from Japan just recently and it sharpened my two ceramics like none of the others. Like the first reviewer said almost as sharp as factory. My big knife had a small nick in it and the directions explained how to grind it out and it worked.Ignore the others and get this one. Battery powered which worried me, but no problems were encountered. " – Nak'm Dead "Trying to get it Right"

"I'm late to the Maas bandwagon, having only used it for a few months but I'm a total convert.Loving silver as I do, I have quite a collection and polishing it every few weeks with conventional polish became quite a chore.With Maas, I find that I need polish much less often which is welcome news. The clincher for me, though, is that several of the older pieces never really responded to my old polish and I thought they were beyond repair.With Maas and a little elbow grease, they positively sparkle.

"Works as well as the Spyderco but only offers one sharpening angle. The 40 degree angle is what most production knives use anyway. The diamond stone is a bit more aggressive and complements the ceramic rods nicely. Works well with serrations and the carbide cutters seem to work well for duller edges. " – ADNJ
Customer Reviews:
"I received this set last Christmas from my husband. The price is outstanding for the number of knives and the cutting board is a nice plus. Now it's April, so for three months these have been my go to knives. Outstanding. I can slice very thin and the cutting board is really nice to have. Peeler is great too. I don't use conventional knives anymore, just these. I've bought two more of this set to give as Christmas gifts this December. Buy this, you won't be sorry. But watch it, these knives are sharp and it's easy to cut yourself. " – Elizabeth Gardner

"Calling it the quick fix was a stroke of genius.This is similar to those carbide kitchen knife sharpeners you see for cheap, and it works very well.One major improvement over the kitchen sharpener, besides it's size, it that the reverse side has ceramic polishing stones set at a similar angle to the carbide hones, allowing you to hone your blade to surgical sharpness.
One item to observe is is keeping the blade perpendicular to the tool and having a good grip on both the blade and this little tool.That's why it's got the overmolded rubber grip.Failure to maintain either your grip or the angle will cause you to gouge the blade.Keeping the pressure light will lessen the tendency for the tool or blade to chatter or twist.
It's a well thought our and versatile tool.I highly recommend the addition of this to anyone who carries a knife in the field. " – Aaron D. Harper

"This is the sharpest knife I have ever used. And I use good German and Japanese steel knives. It is so sharp it is dangerous if you are not careful. If you play with it like an inept clown and drop it and chip the blade, you might give it one star. But if you know your way around the kitchen, it is five star for sure. " – You Go Figure

"Love the knife....stays sharp (forever), just not practical for twisting operation (such as deboning chicken), since the knife will break. " – Kim D. West

"If one really wants to put a razor sharp edge on an axe or knife, a set of diamond whetstones is the best way to do it. This painstaking manual process requires time and proper technique. Beware: a razor sharp edge is exactly that and not to be trifled with. On the other hand, if "pretty darn sharp" is good enough...and it should be for most utility purposes...a dedicated sharpening tool like the Fiskars will get the job done quickly and with minimum risk to one's fingers. There are a number of similar products on the market. This one comes from a reputable manufacturer at a good price point. " – K. Beach "KRB"
Customer Reviews:
"This unit is incredibly sharp and does a great job, however, the flimsy plastic holder for the ceramic blade simply will not hold up and easily breaks, making the unit worthless after a few uses.I cannot condemn this product alone as every ceramic blade unit I have bought seems to be built this way.The online picture suggested it was built differently but on arrival I found it was not.
Ceramic blades are great, but they need to be better mounted. " – Techy

"I was kind of skeptical to order because of the low price; I thought it may be cheaply made and break right away. Wrong! This is a great ceramic peeler! We make pear sauce and it dealt like a champ with every big, lumpy pear we picked. If it does eventually break, we'll order another. In fact, may order another just to have on hand.

When it comes to kitchen knives, it’s important to select the best you can afford. Ceramic cutlery stays a lot sharper for much longer than the traditional stainless steel knives which you find in most kitchens. In fact, to give you a statistic, they can stay sharp up to ten times longer than regular steel knives.
Ceramic does have one major disadvantage in that it is easier to break so it is a good idea to make sure that you buy a set where you can easily replace parts without having to buy a new set. If you’re the type who breaks or chips your dishes regularly, it might not be such a good idea to go for ceramic and instead go for stainless steel instead.

Ceramic is a hard and high quality material. Different manufacturers offer varying qualities, but for the most part, the quality is reasonably consistent and well worth the extra money spent for a good set. With proper care, a good ceramic cutlery set should last you a very, very long time and not need frequent resharpening.
Since ceramic is completely inert chemically, you won’t have to worry about any unwanted metallic taste your food. This can often be the case with cheaper products, where you get a slightly metallic taste. Ceramic is also slightly healthier to use since it is more resistant to germs.
Ceramic cutlery is generally lighter weight which make them easier to handle and more comfortable. This makes preparing meals and serving them rather a lot easier. At the table, this translates to more comfortable dining.
It is a good idea to get a ceramic cutlery set that has a sharpener included with it. Ceramic knives can be difficult to sharpen, especially if you have to find an extra product to sharpen them with. However, if everything is included with the set when you order it, then you are better off as you don’t need to go out and spend more money at a later stage. The amount of money you should spend on a set varies greatly but don’t be tempted to get a cheap one. Make sure that you pay for quality and that is built to last.
