Ceramic Knives versus Steel Knives What’s the difference?

Page 2: Ceramic Knives Versus Steel Knives

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

7

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 ceramic blade will maintain its blade edge much longer than your steel knife

The Verdict

8

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.
