3” Quality Ceramic Knife – Brand New – great gift!

Beginning of 2008, I was introduced to ceramic knife by my cousin who bought me as a gift from China. I never heard of “ceramic knife” before, and had no idea why she bought me a knife rather than something else “nicer”.

Then I started using it, and then I realized I don’t want to use steel knives any more. It is so sharp, light in weight, and easy to clean. Especially, I felt I didn’t have to do “hand-wrestling” when I cut meat from bones – ceramic knife just made cutting simple, effectively and pleasant! What an amazing knife! I pronounced. I started to learn ceramic kitchen knives, and recommended to anybody around me. The amazing thing is many friends who had tried my knife wanted to buy from me!

Anyway, I believe the information below may help you if you are interested and want to know more about my ceramic knives.

The hardness, strength and corrosion resistance of Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2) provides significant advantages compared to traditional stainless steel knives:

This 3"(76mm) blade makes this knife wonderful for any sort of cutting or slicing.

You will be amazed at the ease with which this very light and super sharp knife will glide through tomatoes, kiwis and other soft fruits. Raw potatoes will cut as if boiled! You will carve wafer thin slices of meat without effort and slice through fish flesh like cutting through air.

Zirconium Carbide is 2nd in hardness only to diamond. The result is the most durable ceramic knife possible. Ceramic knives hold an edge much longer than steel. And unlike steel blades which loose there razor edge after a couple of uses - a ceramic blade keeps an out of the box razor edge for years or longer.

The durable molded ABS plastic is lightly textured for better grip. Lightweight, well-balanced and shaped to fit the natural curve of the hand, these handles are a pleasure to hold.

Cautions!

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

♣ Ceramic knife is knee cutting instrument but it is not ready for chopping or cutting hard items such as bones, staples, or frozen products and not to be used for whittling.

♣ Please do not use ceramic knife to cut against ceramic, porcelain, glass or similar hard materials.  

♣ Avoid dropping the knife on hard surfaces. Use wooden or plastic cutting pads.

♣ Let the kids full aware of its ultra sharpness. Do not take it as a toy.

♣ If cleaned in a dishwasher please make sure that it is placed in such a way that its edge can not contact other hard objects.

♣ Please exercise special caution when using ceramic knives due to their extreme hardness and sharpness, which are why they do not need to be sharpened as often as a steel blade.

♣ Do not drop the knife on hard surface.

Frequently asked questions?

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Q. Are Ceramic blades Fragile?

A. Not fragile as much as very different from steel – note that even steel when taken to extreme hardness levels will snap or break if you attempt to bend it. You see this more often with very hard drill bits that tend to break at tips when any side force is exerted. You can, most times drop a ceramic knife and as long as it does not fall right on the pointy end no damage is likely.

You cannot use a ceramic blade as a pry bar!, cutting into hard wood really does not cause a problem except when you exert force on an angle (trying to bend that edge right - ! This might snap the blade but more likely will cause some small chips on the edge. Same thing with cutting through chicken bones – cut straight & you will likely succeed but that is not easy to do with these small blades.

Q. Salt Water?

A. The ceramic blades really do not react with much in the way of chemicals, not reactive to vinegar or other food acids!

Q. Why Ceramic instead of steel?
A. The blade is extremely hard – only diamonds are harder. Expect little or no wear and tear on the blade. It will cut and cut and cut again . . .like cutting butter. The blade does not rust, spot or – Heaven forbid – pit, because it isn't made of steel. Sensitive food items such as eggs or citrus fruit will not assume a strange metallic taste from the blade. It is lightweight, thus well-balanced. It is also antimagnetic and well-suited for special usages.

Q. What are ceramic knives made of?
A. These knives are made of an advanced, high-tech ceramic called zirconium oxide (also called zirconia). This material, which is second in hardness only to diamond, was originally developed for industrial applications where metal components failed. Zirconium oxide is extremely hard, wear resistant, and chemically inert. For the technically minded, zirconium oxide has a hardness of 8.2 mohs (vs. steel at 5-6 mohs and diamond at 10 mohs).

Q. How do I sharpen ceramic knives?
A. You can re-sharpen your ceramic knife with a powered diamond sharpening wheel.

Q. Will a ceramic knife break or shatter if I drop it?
A. No (with the possible exception of the tip). Zirconium oxide is a very strong material. Like a forged steel knife, however, you can likely break the tip if the knife lands on the tip.

Q. How can I damage a ceramic knife?
A. Two ways. First, you can chip the edge if you cut into bones or use on a surface such as marble. Second, you can break off the tip or snap off the handle if you use it to pry.
Please handle the blade carefully! Only wooden surfaces or the new plastic cutting boards are recommended. Surfaces of marble, glass, china or steel will impair the sharpness of the blade. Don't drop the blades on hard surface floors or use them as can openers. That's not included in their job description.

Q. How can I wash my ceramic knife and tools?
A. Ceramic knives and tools are very easy to clean with a quick wipe since food does not stick to them. Please do not wash them in the dishwasher. We do not recommend wash them in dishwasher since the dishwasher may be too rough and cause breakage .Violent motion against other objects, especially hard plates, could chip the objects and/or the ceramic knives and tools.

Q. Where should I store my ceramic knife?
A. You can store your ceramic knife in a conventional knife block, in an in-drawer tray, or in the package.

Q. How are ceramic knives made?
A. First, by special high presses (many tons!), blade “blanks” are molded from ceramic powder. Special binders in the powder allow the blanks to retain their shape before sintering (or firing), which takes several days at extremely high temperatures (in excess of 1000¯ C). We then grind and polish the sintered blanks to form an edge and the final shape before attaching the handle.

Q. Why ceramic knives are sharper than they look likes?
A. It is true that they are sharper than they look likes. Because they are made of high-tech ceramic material, which is second in hardness only to diamond, ceramic knives are harder and sharper than most metal knives. Be careful when using the ceramic knives.

Ok, but why should I buy from you?

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

♣.The ceramic knife is made in China by a highly experienced Chinese manufacturer. It has 16 years of manufacturing experience in Zirconia products, 5 years of OEM experiences for Japanese top-brand knife manufacturer, and 10 years in manufacturing ceramic knives.

♣. The raw material is imported to China, and quality control is embedded in overall processes to ensure uniformity of the strength and sharpness of the ceramic blades.

♣.For my 6” knife, the blade width is 39-41mm, while 33-38mm blade width is seen in most samples from other manufacturers. The wider the blade width is the more stable and more efficient in usage. However, the wider, the higher of its production cost!

♣. The gift pack packaging also makes this knife great gift for chefs, mums, and friends who love cooking to death.

♣. You pay one flat postage anywhere in Australia if you buy up to three knives from me.
