Product Description
Kyocera's premium cutlery line features stunning Damascus-look blades. Close in hardness to diamond, these advanced ceramic knifes feature Kyotop (Hot- Isostatic pressed) "HIP" blades. These blades are fired a second time under high pressure and temperature in a sealed chamber. This process increases the density of the advanced ceramic material, resulting in greater wear resistance. The moisture-resistant, 3 riveted handles are made out of Pakka wood. The 5.5 inch blade is great for slicing, and chopping.

It grows on you
By J. Lubner
Out of the box you notice the blade on this knife is a little shallow for a conventional grip on the handle. You also notice that good or bad, it is light. It's sharp but so is any other new knife. Overall, it seems OK. Six months later when it's as sharp as the first day it's the first knife you grab for. It is not the ideal knife ergonomically, but it's edge holding ability overcomes those shortcomings in my opinion. I have given two for gifts after owning mine a year.

The Best Knife I Own!
By MRSautoX
I adore this knife, it is the only knife I use anymore. It is as sharp as the day my husband gave it to me for my birthday more than 6 months ago. The grip is perfect if you have small hands like me. I love this knife so much that I have asked for 3 more from the set for Christmas. You do need to be careful about using it near hard objects I accidentally touched the edge of a bowl with it and put a very tiny knick in the blade, but it still cuts like a dream.

first impression: impressive
By Je.Bn
I'll sum up by quoting other reviews:very sharp; "like a razor blade with handle;" cuts the toughest meats with ease; deceptively lightweight; so sharp it demands respect, cuts like a dream.I think the only way I will be dissatisfied after 6 or 12 months is if it breaks unexpectedly.I've already put it front and center on the countertop, and can see I will be using it constantly.It does not feel like a $150+ piece of hardware because it's light enough to make you think of plastic.But the little bugger is ready for anything.The biggest question may be cost.Learning to sharpen steel knives is easy and quick--so for just fruits and veggies, you may not get the extra money's worth out this knife.But 2 pros make it worthwhile for me:No more struggling IN THE LEAST with sinewy meat, stringy fat and tough gristle (no newly-sharpened steel knife approaches the ease of ceramic on meat).No metal taste and no metal fragments introduced into our food or air (no metal filings or dust from sharpening steel; we never have to deal with it, worry about it, ingest it).Adoring this little (non-metallic) piranha of a knife.
