White Ceramic 6 Inch Chef's Knife - Lightweight Kitchen Cutlery for Precision Cooking

The 6" Shenzhen Chef's Knife is a great product, and the price s a great deal easier to pay than the price of a comparable Kyocera knife. A couple of years ago I decided to buy a Kyocera knife for my wife, who makes hundreds of egg rolls many times a year. Her steel knife was no sharper than a butter knife after innumerable rounds of vegetable prep for her egg rolls, and I thought I could make her chore easier. It turned out that the knife was just what she needed, and that it made the job a far easier. Well, that was 2 years ago, and despite the fact that ceramic knives hold their edge better, even they get dull. When looking to get her another new ceramic knife, I stumbled on the Shenzhen Chef's Knife. Ceramic is ceramic, so I figured out that this would work as well as Kyocera. It turns out that it is comparable in every way, but the price. Both knives are ergonomic, and both knives are sharp enough to shave (when new). I have since discovered that there are sharpeners made specifically for ceramic knives, which may lengthen the time between further purchases of these excellent knives. But, if you don't have one, and you need a truly great knife for slicing vegetables, fruits, and even boneless meat, this is the way to go. If anybody asks me for my suggestion, I will enthusiastically recommend a Shenzhen ceramic knife. Get one and see if you don't find how nice they are. UPDATE: It is now Feb 19, 2021, and we still have our knife. It's not quite as sharp, but is still in one piece, and functioning. Reasonable caution will prevent chipping or breakage of the tang. Sudden lateral forces, or trying to use it like a cleaver, will likely break the blade. The ceramic material is far stronger than steel, but because it is far higher on the Rockwell hardness scale, it is much more brittle. After 10 years, I'm still happy with my purchase.

Nice and sharp and so reasonsble compared with the one i bought in Japan. The Japanese kyocera knife was was a little nicer (nicer grip and bigger blade) but these are great for the price

I love these knives! Before buying them, I had the opportunity to try them. I work as a cook/demonstrator in an upscale grocery store and do my own prep. A coworker brought in his set that was several years old. Incidentally, his had the "old style" handles which, from reading the reviews, can be prone to breakage. His had never broken and there were no chips on the blades, even though he said his set was about 5 years old (and he paid more than I did!) and he uses them at home as well as work. Obviously, use the knives for the intended purpose and they will present no problems. I used his for several weeks and found them exceptional for cutting produceI did a cursory on-line search for other brands, and went to some kitchen stores to check out their wares. I decided to stick with the Shenzhen for the quality, quantity, price and customer service. I'm glad I did. I use them every day, particularly the slicing knife. It makes super thin slices of tomatoes, onion, and citrus fruits; cuts around the cores of broccoli and cauliflower to give you perfect florets, and the larger knife works great for a perfect dice on cucumbers, zucchini, and potatoes. I've diced bacon, trimmed fat from poultry and other meats, and cut thin slices of pork, beef, and poultry for stir fry dishes. I have not, nor will I use the knives to cut hard squash, sweet potatoes, or hard cheese (works well, however, on softer cheddars, swiss, etc.) I have my Wusthof for that.I've had these knives for about two months and intend to take them with me when trailer camping. Buy them, you won't be sorry. A couple other things: they clean up easily, mostly with a quick rinse after use (no knives should go in the dishwasher!) and since they are super sharp (my husband won't use them) you may want to invest in a cutting glove to protect your opposite hand, as we do at work.

I bought this because I wanted to experiment with a ceramic knife. This is an excellent all around. It maintains a great edge and you dont have to steel or sharpen it. It is light and easy to hold. It doesn't have the same heft as a steel knife so it's not a good chopper through thick material. This tool is perfect for veggies and boned meats.The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I have noticed little chips on the blade lately. I understand that ceramic is more brittle than steel and i have made sure not to put too much strain on the edge so I am assuming these chips came from normal usage. However, this knife still cuts very well despite the damage. It will probably need to be replaced in a year or so. But, overall, I've had a good experience with this brand of knife. It's cheap and I don't mind replacing it in the future.

Best knifes ever!

I knew it was going to be a good night but I didn't realize how nice it would be. Very sharp and very useful. You can fillet fat off of any type of meat.Keep in mind the ceramic knives are much stronger material than any variant of steel or stainless steel, but it's much more brittle and dropping the knife could shatter it or chip it. Do not cut hard material as that will probably chip your knife and to be upsetting. I just wash it in the dishwasher if I cut meet with it, otherwise I just hand wash it very carefully it just cutting vegetables.

I love ceramic knives. They are great, really shape and just as pictured.Super sharp so be careful!

Total garbage. There was a sharp seam on the handle was uncomfortable to hold, the blade is thick and it wasn't even particularly sharp compared to my steel knives (when they are properly sharpened). I returned it via a UPS drop off, and was told it never arrived so I got billed anyway. Karma. This is what I get for buying cheap crap online.
