FAQ

You have certainly noticed that Ceramic knives feature either a black or a white blade. This can be explained by the fact that some ceramic knives were constructed out of Zirconium Oxide, which is the reason they are white. On the other hand, some ceramic knives undergo an extra firing process which darkens the blade and results in a black-colored blade. The latter tends to be stronger.

Ceramic knives don’t need as much sharpening as steel knives. They hold their edge longer as opposed to steel blades that demand regular sharpening. You might use your ceramic knives for months –even years- without having to re-sharpen, as long as you properly take care of them.

No. While the name of the sharpener might suggest that the ceramic knife sharpener is the right tool for sharpening ceramic blades, it is not. It is rather designed for the sharpening of steel knives.

You have two options. What we recommend though is the first, which is to return it to factory so that you benefit from a professional sharpening. However, if for any reason you can’t accomplish that, you are better off using a diamond abrasive sharpener. Note that most available sharpeners have ceramic abrasives, which aren’t optimal for sharpening ceramic knives.

We don’t recommend doing that because the process through which dishwashers clean items is too brutal, which puts the blade at a high damage risk.

Although ceramic knives are very solid, a violent trauma such as a high fall on a solid surface might cause damage to the blade. And while it is very unlikely that the blade shatters, such accidents can break the tip. Depending on the violence of the accident, some breaks can be repaired. It is recommended to contact a professional for any repairing of any kind.

Make sure to cut items on a wooden or plastic cutting board. Use your ceramic knives on soft items. Avoid force cutting through hard materials. If you deal with frozen items, wait until they defrost. Make sure to clean your knives after usage. Use water or a detergent to wash out dirt.
