KYOCERA Revolution 3" Ceramic Paring Knife – Ultra-Sharp Precision Blade

This is a sharp ceramic paring knife which cuts through foods easily. — THE BLADE — I ordered the all white knife (handle and blade). The handle is plastic, and the blade is made of proprietary ceramic. The knife is razor sharp and will easily cut through foods like fish and meat (not bones!), and other soft foods. Because of the chemical structure of the blade, it makes it unaffected by juices, oils, salts, and other elements. It also will never rust. if you need to sharpen it at some point you should get the Kyocerca Advanced Ceramic Electric Diamond Knife Sharpener , which is made just for these ceramic knives. — THE BRITTLENESS — Now comes the downsides of having a ceramic blade: it's brittle. You can't have something incredibly strong without a weakness. Steel has a weakness: moisture. Even Superman has a weakness. Please handle this knife and blade carefully. If not properly handled, you can easily nick or crack the blade. Be careful of what you are cutting because you will ruin the blade if you cut something hard that you aren't supposed to. You *must* hand wash this, and do not just toss/throw it in the sink! Dry it separately from your flatware, and store it in a separate drawer (I store mine in a delicate kitchen utensils drawer). This is a great paring knife that is well designed, and is very sharp. Recommended.

Good knife but for the price would be nice to have a plastic cover to put it in when not using it.

This is my favorite knife in the knife drawer. I had to buy a second one. I love how it cuts and stays sharp. The only thing to be aware of is that the porcelain knives can be more fragile so don't try to pry things with it or cut super hard things.

I've had this knife for about a month and it is beautifully sharp. It's VERY light. It's great for vegetables and fruits because there is no resistance and you can make clean, thin, even slices. The blade and handle are easy to clean. The orange color of mine is great, and the color makes it easy to find in the drawer. This was my first ceramic knife and I plan to acquire another few. I would have liked to have given this 4.5 stars because of these issues: This knife really shouldn't be lying freely in a drawer with other knives because it can chip, but it doesn't come with any covering. I have much cheaper steel knives that came with a little plastic cage to go over the blade so would it be that difficult to provide them with this knife? The handle, while sleek and easy to clean, doesn't have that much of a gripping surface so it would be easy to drop. That's a drawback when dropping it could shatter it. It's also a drawback in that this would be perfect for people with arthritis because the knife is very light, but those people probably would like a better grip. Maybe Kyocera could team up with Good Grips? Some others have been critical of the fact that it shouldn't go into a dishwasher. I know of no serious cooks who put food preparation knives in a dishwasher. This is no different from any other good knife that way so I would not consider that a drawback. It will not replace all of your steel knives; it cannot be used with bone-in meat or anything super hard. There is no flexibility and you could break or chip the blade. Overall a great knife, although not totally perfect.

I'm a knife nerd and sharpen our knives regularly. Despite that, this is easily the sharpest knife in the house. And it's going to stay sharp without my help. Add the rounded point and white blade color that make it look like a toy and this knife kind of scares me. I keep worrying that I will grab it casually and cut myself. Years of training taught me that sharp things are shiny and pointy and this isn't either. Again, this is a seriously sharp blade. It cuts easily through even the toughest meat. I have no doubt that it will cut equally easily through my hand. In addition to cutting easily through tough meat, it slices tomatoes as well as the serrated knife I used to keep just for that. It also carved foam rubber (for a craft project) more cleanly than anything I've ever seen. UPDATE: After a month and a half of relatively gentle use, there's a chip about 3/4" from the end. It's a really small chip (less than 0.5 millimeter) and it doesn't affect the knife's function at all. But if it chipped this easily from gentle use, I'm starting to question how well it will hold up. While this is not the most expensive paring knife out there, I'd hate to start thinking of it as disposable.

Not everyone in my family was impressed with this knife - one of my in-laws spent half an hour trying to cut a hair in two while holding it by one end, slicing through a sheet of paper samurai-style, and doing other silly things that supposedly show off the efficiency of the blade. After which he declared it not sharp enough. Now, this sort of things might not really be possible with a mass-produced ceramic kitchen knife nor they are really necessary. The knife does what it's supposed to do - it cuts things cleanly and effortlessly while you are cooking. I have two of these and I did manage to chip one of the blades early on - I used it as a pairing knife and hit a bone. Now, I am a bit more careful. To keep the blade sharp, a wooden cutting board is recommended. Depending on how well you take care of this knife, it will keep the edge anywhere from three to six months, and after that Kyocera has a sharpening service - I think it's something like $10 for two knives. Not a bad deal at all. I also saw a sharpener for ceramic knives sold on Amazon at one time but decided not to spend the money on it - these blades don't require regular sharpening. Good, sharp, multipurpose knife. Recommended.

Great knife, exactly as expected, quick shipping!

Sharp AF! Purchase if you are a true kitchen ninja. Incredible for delicate items like ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. You won’t be disappointed.

Tiene un excelente filo

Same enthusiastic review as for the Kyocera FK Series White Ceramic 13cm Slicing Knife :) Not much more to say. Just a dream paring knife. P.S. I also have a black one. I noticed no difference (other than the colour). Same better than razor sharp blade.

This is an incredible tool for fine slicing of things like garlic, mushrooms and more. Highly recommend it. I wish it came with a blade protector.

Il n'y a pas mieux. coupe super bien, casse moins vite . et on peut avoir appareil affûtage soi-même. Très content

Ce petit couteau est parfait pour l'épluchage des fruits et légumes. Je possède le même depuis 6 ans , il coupe toujours très bien . Ce nouvel achat est un cadeau . Je recommande la marque Kyocera qui , bien qu'un peu + chère , est d'une qualité très supérieure .
