Kyocera Advanced Ceramics Revolution Series 3-Piece Ceramic Knife Set - 6" Chef Knife, 5" Serrated Utility Knife & 3" Paring Knife with Black Handles & White Blades - Perfect for Slicing Fruits, Vegetables & Boneless Meats in Professional & Home Kitchens

I am not new to ceramic knives. I have purchased another brand of ceramics before so I knew somewhat what to expect when the Kyocera set arrived. Compared to another no-name brand, I felt the Kyocera set had some advantages. This set quickly bites into tomatoes, peaches, fruits with zero slippage along the sharp edge. The blade has no hesitation cutting into soft fruits and veggies making paper thin slices super easy to do. My other set of ceramic blades are thicker on the backend of the blade much like stainless steel knives. But the Kyocera set measures the same uniform thickness on the sharp and dull edges. Why is this important? It makes cutting those paper thin tomato slices easy because it removes the ambiguity of whether I am holding the blade at the precise angle to cut even slices. At first, this uniform thickness makes them look like lesser quality than my other set but in actual performance, they worked better. The set also comes with a serrated blade for when you need that kind of application.The only con are the ergonomics of the handles and because the Kyocera set doesn't include sheaths to protect the knives. I felt, if less expensive sets include sheaths, then the Kyocera should also. The handles don't feel firm in the hand like other ceramics so that's a downer. But nevertheless, they do perform extremely well.I do wish they came in all black or gun metal gray. I don't get why ceramics come in fruity colorful colors. But that's just my subjective feeling about them. On the plus side, Kyocera offers a life-time sharpening service included with the set. I haven't used their service yet because I just bought them but if they stand true to their promise, I would think Kyocera blades provide a good value. But having a second set of these knives would make sense so while one set is back at Kyocera being serviced, I would have another set to keep using in the kitchen.One tip I would like to pass on. If I had to buy again, I would still buy Kyocera. However, I would pick a set with only longer knives. The smaller knives aren't as useful and don't get used often. So it's wasteful if you think about it. You don't want to use ceramic blades on ceramic plates so the smaller blades aren't very useful for the dinner table either. Ceramic blades should only be used on wood cutting board to prevent them from chipping. I use a bamboo cutting board because of their natural antibacterial properties.
