Kyocera Black Series kitchen knives are made of precious pottery and embedded in highly ergonomic handles, making them outstandingly lightweight and well fitted to the user’s hand. Blade material is close in hardness to diamond and therefore offers ten times higher resistance than a traditional metal knife while remaining sharp for many years without any additional sharpening required.

Ceramic materials constitute a healthy alternative, which - unlike metals - does not react with vegetable or fruit juices. As we know, lettuce should rather be torn then cut because it darkens upon contact with metal; cucumbers should be peeled in appropriate directions to eliminate their slightly bitter taste, etc. With a ceramic knife, you may just as well cut your lettuce, peel and chop your cucumbers from all sides, and process all other vegetables and fruit, not worrying about their taste or nutritive value.

All Kyocera Knives are wholly manufactured in Japan. The entire blade is made of pottery, without any metal parts.
