Ceramic Knives versus Steel Knives What’s the difference?
The Ceramic Advantage: Stays sharper longer!
2
Ceramic Knives don’t need to be sharpened as often as steel knives,
thus giving you precision slicing every time. This is due to the ceramic blade’s special material properties:
Made from zirconium oxide
Much harder than steel
Second in hardness to only diamond
Maintains its edge 10-15x times longer than steel
Non-reactive and will not rust
Resistant to stains, strong oils and acids
If you properly care for your ceramic knife, it can stay sharp for a few years without being re-sharpened.

Ceramic Knives: Pros
3
They are rust proof and easy to clean
Ceramic blades are not very porous and don’t transfer food residue from food to food
Chemically inert, so they won’t react with your food.
Fruits, such as apples, don’t oxidize and turn brown as fast.
Unlike steel knives, you don’t have to re-sharpen them often
It’s super light weight! Don’t have to strain when slicing

Sharpness: The Difference Between Steel and Ceramic

Typically, ceramic knives will be much sharper than your steel knives.
For the majority of amateur chefs who don’t regularly care for their knives, the ceramic blade holds a distinct advantage in blade performance.

The Verdict

Ceramic knives will never replace your steel knives in the kitchen because ceramic knives are not meant for everyday heavy duty cutting and chopping. But they definitely can be a complementary tool tool in the amateur chef’s toolbox to handle
precision slicing. Move over, Fido, these ceramic knives will be your new best
friend in the kitchen!

About Us
10
Shenzhen Knives is the leading online brand of ceramic knives. As a result of our e-
commerce only sales model, we can make high performance ceramic technology available to everyone.
Even though ceramic knives were first introduced over 25 years ago, the price has not changed much, even with improvements in ceramic technology and manufacturing. We soon realized that there were so
many layers of marketing and distribution.
At Shenzhen Knives we do not spend millions on celebrity chef’s endorsements, and avoid
brick and mortar retailers who need to add their huge markup to cover their overhead.
We felt that such a great product –that doesn’t need to be sharpened as often as a steel knife, and knowing the blade won’t rust – should be in everyone's kitchen.
