Kyocera Knives

Kyocera Advanced Ceramics are on the cutting edge of culinary technology. Crafted in Kyoto, Japan, these blades are made from a proprietary ceramic called Zirconia 206, which is formed by compressing zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, and other advanced ceramics under many tons of pressure. The resulting material is unique; it is far denser, harder and more resistant to wear than any metal or alloy and second only to diamonds in hardness. Since Zirconia 206 is so much stronger and denser, blades can be ground thinner and sharper and they will holds an edge longer than steel, alloys and even other advanced ceramic knives. It is also a very lightweight and pure material that is chemically inert so it won't brown foods, won't transfer a metallic taste or smell, and will never rust.

Kyocera's Revolution Series Knives feature deeper blades for ample knuckle clearance and ergonomic, contoured resin handles that are hygenic and offer excellent grip and control. The blades are balanced, lightweight and they create clean, precise and less-intrusive cuts with minimal resistance and require less pressure from the user. Revolution Series Ceramic Knives are ideal for those who wish to reduce hand and wrist fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. Kyocera's unique blades are extremely sharp and capable of retaining thier edge for months to years without sharpening. Kyocera is the only manufacturer of advanced ceramic cutlery and kitchen tools to offer a Lifetime Warranty and Lifetime Sharpening.[more]
