Q:
This is a second post, answer for first post does not work. I put this under gear category.
LostLure was asking about knives in a earlier post - my question is has anyone had any experience with ceramic blade knives ?

I have used them, my brother sold them. They are basically a sharp, brittle knife that does not carry odors and their expensive. It is better suited to the kitchen than being carried afield. When they need to be resharpened [and they will]they must be returned to the manufacturer. They sell a machine to do this at home. But I don't know how good they are. Dropping them is like dropping a piece of glass.
If you REALLY want a fragile knife you don't have to sharpen. Get a Havalon knife. They are basicaly folding Autopsy knives with replaceable blades. You can get longer blades by googling Autopsy Knives.
We've dropped ours probably 6 or 8 times. So far, no damage ....and I have concrete floors.
FB; The floors in my kitchen are tile. I was not that lucky. I guess it's how the land.
I was given a Kyocera 6 inch chef's knife as a gift. It's stayed sharp about 3 1/2 years, cuts very well, has excellent balance and it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the "family". It doesn't need a touch up with the steel and I can't break the Lansky sharpener out. Some people would say "great". I'm too much of a traditionalist I guess.
But for ceramic kitchen knifes, I'd recommend Kyocera.
It depends on the knife. cheeper knives can lose a edge fast and break easily but expensive ones are great i use a Kyocera Kyotop Utility Knife to help with butchering after getting the game home. It is super sharp and durable. It is great for removing rib meat, prepping birds, and doing other intricate work. But i agree with carl if you are looking for a field knife then get a Havalon knife. I use both when I butcher but I use the Havalon exclusively in the field.
very brittle
