1. Incredibly sharp knife! Haven't had to sharpen it, hone it, nothing. The only thing i don't use it for is smacking garlic cloves and cutting through bone (as it will chip). I will use this product until it spontaneously combusts! :)

4 comments about Kyocera Revolution Series 5-Inch Slicing Knife, White.

1. Overall I like this knife. The only drawback is the price - it's expensive - but then you are paying for the quality and technology. We bought the slicing knife - It is VERY sharp! The first thing I sliced was an orange, and it cut through it like it was warm butter. I haven't had it long enough to say if it holds it's edge longer than a conventional metal blade, but they do have a mail in resharpening service for a minimal cost if the blade ever does need sharpening. I would recommend this product.



2. i am a weekend cooking enthusiast, and use my knives extensively on weekends. the quality of knives -at least to me- greatly influences cooking enjoyment, and often influences the quality of the end product (aesthetically, and dull knives can tear, crush and sap the juice out of stuff).
   
   i do own other quality knives, and am a bit of a sharpening nazi. i saw this kyocera knife and was curius about the proposition: very sharp, very long lasting blade? nice. plus the white blade is a nice design tuch in my mind.
   
   out of the box, it cut through stuff like a jedi sword through imperial soldiers. the force was with me. :-) very impressive... ripe tomatoes submitted to the blade without losing a single unneccessary drop of juice, for example. for a while there it was my favorite knife to use.
   
   but after 2 months the blade is starting to noticeably dull. and the drawback is that you'd have to send it back to kyocera for a (admittedly cheap) sharpening service. mind you, it still cuts very well, but know i actualy have gone back to use other knives (global, caphalon santoku, henckels professional s) that are my usual favorites, and which i can quickly sharpen before use for that ultimate edge, every time out.
   
   so i have mixed feelings about this knife, because for the price you can get a very high end steel product that you can keep ultra-sharp every time out. and i admit i kind of enjoy sharpening knives. :-)
   
   but if you are not into sharpening kinves, then i imagine the kyocera is a great investment for your kitchen, because it will indeed keep a very usable edge for a long time indeed. just make sure you don't drop or twist it unneccessarily - these things are reported to shatter!



3. This is the first ceramic knife I have ever used. It slices easily and effortlessly through a variety of foodstuffs, yet when I pressed it to my finger, I came away unscathed. I'm sure it would slice skin as easily as everything else, but I didn't want to try it out. The blade cleans easily. I'm hooked.



4. Kyocera ceramics are the sharpest knives I've ever seen or used in a career marked by years of professional cooking. But that is well known; an argument that need not be advanced by me. I want to respond to the reviewer who complained that his knife lost its keen edge after two months use. I've been slicing tomatoes and other soft fruits and vegetables with this knife for more than five years, not just on weekends but day in and day out in a commercial kitchen. It remains as sharp today as when I took it out of the box. I suspect that the unhappy reviewer was misusing the knife by cutting on the wrong type of surface, dragging the blade against bone or otherwise asking the knife to do things that it was not designed to do, and which the manufacturer clearly says not to do.
   
   Use it properly and you may never find out how well and quickly Kyocera can resharpen it for you.

1. I absolutely adore these Kyocera knives, they are the sharpest things I have ever seen.
   
   I ordered this through Witbecks, and the first one got lost in the mail -- that can always happen. When I contacted Matt Witbeck he responded immediately (that night, from home) and the next day sent me a replacement. I have never had such prompt and unquestioning customer service, and so I want to recommend Witbecks to anyone.



2. I've been using this knife frequently for over a year now and it is still razor sharp and the first knife I reach for whenever I cook. Ceramic knives do have some problems though, the first is that they are fragile. I broke my first knife in half when the tip got stuck in a peach pit and I tried to pull it out. The other problem is that they are extremely light, so not good for say, butchering a whole chicken. This is NOT a heavy duty knife. But when cared for and used properly, no steel blade can slice cleaner or faster than these Kyocera ones. Also remember that these knives can't be sharpened. Their cutting edge last 10x longer than steel ones but they have to be sent back to Kyocera to be sharpened, don't try to hone them either.



3. Went to a Knife Skills class and got to try this little baby out after being schooled on the differences between steel and ceramic. This thing does exactly what ceramic is for. It's lightweight and is for slicing soft meats, any vegis or fruits. The secret is in the motion. Our chef put the blade up to her hand and.. nothing. But she put it on top of the tomato and did a gentle slice and WOW! I love the lightweight feel, and I appreciate that they tell us these are an "addition" to a knife collection and shouldnt be considered a replacement. When you look at it like that, this thing is exactly what it says it is. Plus this particular knife donates to the Susan Koman Breast Cancer programs.. just an added plus to make me feel better about splurging on myself!

1. I bought this knife after seeing how they are made on a television show. I have been very pleased with it's performance.
   
   The knife is only for cutting through flesh - fruit, vegetables and boneless meat only. Do not expect to use this knife on bone-in meat without chipping the knife.
   
   As far as cutting, it is very sharp. I get clean and easy cuts, including frozen meat. I was running late making dinner one night, pulled out a package of frozen chicken breast and chopped it into slices in no time.
   
   The manufacturer recommends this knife be cleaned and stowed immediately after use - if you leave in in the bottom of a stainless steel sink, be prepared for a dull and/or shattered knife (when you forget the knife is in the sink and you drop in a heavy pan). Hand wash only!
   
   My only gripe is the handle. As mentioned in other reviews, it is very smooth with no features to grip - it can get slippery with prolonged use.

1. I have purchased a dozen paring knives over twenty years and these do not compare to permanently SHARP, (just bought one $140 Shun, little different) ... I lost my last ceramic and boy, boy did I miss it, now I love to cut everything in sight again... cannot go wrong (do not buy with little kids, too sharp and might break) GREAT PRODUCT A+ buy three and leave them around for all tasks... lasts forever!

1. I've had a couple of Kyocera ceramic knives and they're great. The extra sharpness makes the knife useful in places where a steel knife isn't great -- slicing large loaves of crisp bread, bagels, bagels, tomatoes are much easier. But I've had both knives crack under use, so you need to adopt your style. Nevertheless, if you want a supersharp knife, these ceramic knives are brilliant.



2. I bought this for a friend as a gift. He looks for this knife at my house every time he comes to dinner. He likes to make the salad and this is wonderful for celery, carrots etc. I personally like it for everything and it is the knife I reach for first.



3. We love this knife. It is quite expensive and I am not sure I am convinced yet that it is worth the money. It is a bit short at 5.5". For the money it should at least be 7", but still it has an amazing edge and my wife tends to use it as her primary knife. I prefer the 8" furi santoku.



4. This knife is very sharp and light - great - just making sure I'm careful not to chip the edge!



5. I have used this type of knife before and was not disappointed. I would buy from this person again.

1. Be very, very careful. These are the sharpest knives I have ever dealt with. I have used it for fish, vegetables, boneless meats, and cheeses. You can make cuts as thin as you want, and the consistency of the cut is amazing. This set is a good introduction, and I am so happy with it that I plan on getting some of the other knives over time. The knives cut well and are very easy to clean...what else could you want?

1. I bought this knife recently as a work knife at my job. I am a professional chef and I am experienced and well educated on cutlery. This is the second ceramic knife I have bought, the first was dropped by a co-worker and that knife shattered. I love working with ceramic knives because they are the sharpest knives around,period. Nothing is sharper. It glides through food. It requires a bit more care, but if you take good care if it ,it will last a lifetime. This knife is very versitile in the 7" model and very resonably priced. Perfect for meat and fish, slicing, fruit and vegatables. I can cut perfect slices, juliannes, and very fine dice. I laugh when I hear people talk about " my shun knife" or the extremely over-rated "my henckels". They are good all right but very expensive and they will NEVER be as sharp or hold it for as long as a ceramic.
   
   Now, I will say this knife has one thing I don't care for. While the handle is extremely comfortable and feels oh-so-natural( it actually helps cutting in a mechanical sense by design),if the handle is greasy or oily (when cutting steaks from large cuts or dealing with certain fish it can get oily from handeling) it becomes slippery. Not good for a knife as razor sharp as this. Just keep it clean, protect it from abuse and you will have a knife like no other for alooooong time. In a home I suspect it will not be subject to the rigors I put it through, therefore this knife is a great value for the home chef. I would put this knife up against Shun or Henckles or Wusthof any day.



2. I'm not a professional chef.........I just have a bad case of "chef envy". Recently got this knife based on the chef's recommendation - LOVE it. Extremely sharp, as are all the Kyocera knives. Very well balanced and comfortable to use. I have a full set of top of the line Henckels - love them too - but I find myself reaching for the Kyoceras for most jobs because of their sharpness. This knife allows you to slice through large onions and get really thin slices with ease. Goes through meats like butter. This 7" knife is a new addition to the Kyocera line, and I'm glad they added it. The Revolution blade is a little heftier - and the black blade is very cool looking.
   
   Don't be fooled by cheaper imitations - if you're going ceramic, go Kyocera. I was given a less expensive starter set from Linens N Things. They weren't Kyocera - and they were a disappointment and waste of money.
   
   In my opinion, this knife, a paring knife, and 5" slicing knife are must haves for serious cooks. Expensive - but worth every penny. In the case of Kyocera, you get what you pay for - top quality.



3. This is my 2nd ceramic knife. I like it for cutting lettuce and romaine as it is large enough to cut up a head of lettuce. My other ceramic knife is smaller and not as easy to use on something that large. It is great on tomatoes and other fruit and vegetables. I also use it on grapefruit and oranges.
