Kyocera Ceramic Knife

The most distinguishing feature of Kyocera ceramic knives is that they are extremely hard (8.2 on the Mohs hardness scale), as hard as many gemstones and significantly harder than steel at 5-6 Mohs. Your Kyocera ceramic knife is wear resistant, non-magnetic, and chemically inert.

The base material, zirconium oxide, was developed for industrial applications where unusual hardness, wear resistance and non-reactivity were required.

Although the entire Kyocera process is a secret, we know that the knives are made by bonding zirconium particles with heat in a process called sintering. Compared to other ceramic knives, Kyocera’s are made with sub-micron size powder, whose density is higher, resulting in a harder blade and a sharper edge.

Under normal household use your Kyocera may take 3-5 years or more before it needs sharpening. It will not stain, it is dishwasher safe, and it is guaranteed for 5 years.

With the possible exception of the tip, your ceramic knife will not break or shatter if dropped. And most damaged tips can be repaired under Kyocera’ 5-year warranty.
