Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I have only used ceramic knives owned by others, so what I can share is a bit limited. First, reasons for owning (and presumably using) a ceramic knife: 1. All metal objects generate an electromagnetic field. There are some who believe that drawing a metal knife through food subjects the food to potential damage from this field. I have not researched such claims at all, but just from a general background in physics etc., the claims are at least theoretically plausible. Whether anything actually happens, or to what extent, I do not know. However, I am reasonably certain that whatever effect may occur by drawing a metal knife through food is dwarfed by the generalized field effects present 24 x 7 in all major metropolitan areas. 2. Ceramic knives are VERY sharp (good ones are, anyway) and NEVER require sharpening. 3. Ceramic is extremely easy to clean, doesn't stain, etc. But then same is true for high-quality metal knives. Limitation: Ceramic knives are ceramic -- drop one and you have a fractured ceramic. Hope this is helpful!

Does any body have one? If so, what is so good about them? And how to you determine quality when buying one? Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
