How to choose a ceramic knife

When choosing a knife with a ceramic blade, we advise you to decide what it will be used for. For example, for meat you need a long, wide blade, and for vegetables, a 7-centimeter blade is enough. Usually the purpose of the knife is always indicated on the packaging.

Take the product in your hands — a good knife should have a comfortable handle. Rubberized and embossed handles are considered the most successful, as they do not rotate and do not slip in the hand.

The bright color coating of the blade often indicates poor quality. Choose only white, black or graphite knives — they are considered the best.

It is easy to distinguish a fake, namely a coated metal knife: they have poor sharpening and a thick cutting edge. Such a knife will quickly peel off and become dull.

High-quality ceramics are always smooth, without roughness. There can be no glue residue, scratches or stains on the product. The blade should fit snugly in the handle and not wobble.

Let the knife be not the cheapest, but from a well-known manufacturer, which is on everyone’s lips. The technology for the production of such a tool is quite complicated, so the too low price of the model should alert.

Why ceramic knives are better than steel

The blade of a ceramic knife is made of zirconium oxide. It is heat-resistant and harder than steel, and this material does not react with products. Ceramic models have many other advantages:

• Hardness, thanks to which they cut better than ordinary knives;
• Long-term preservation of sharpness and attractive appearance;
• Never rust;
• Uniform structure and smoothness makes it easy to wash the blade;
• A light weight;
• Environmental Safety.

Speaking of the cons, we note that ceramics require careful handling — without bumps and falls. Also, this tool can not cut on glass and ceramic surfaces. And they usually do not cope with very hard (frozen) products, unlike metal.
