Ceramic blades are not made of steel but of extremely hard ceramic material like zirconium oxide. They offer exceptionally long edge retention and complete rust resistance, but are more brittle than steel blades.
Three key characteristics of the material: Edge Retention, Rust Resistance, and Sharpenability
Edge Retention: very high
★★★★★
The extreme hardness of ceramic materials allows for a long-lasting sharp edge in suitable applications.
Rust Resistance: very high
★★★★★
Unlike steel, ceramic does not react with moisture and is completely corrosion-resistant.
Sharpenability: very demanding
★☆☆☆☆
Due to their high hardness, special abrasives are required.
Areas of Application
Kitchen: Ceramic blades are particularly suitable for precise cutting tasks with minimal contact with hard materials.
Food Processing: Their corrosion resistance is an advantage in applications involving moisture.
Not suitable for prying or hard materials: The low toughness makes ceramics more susceptible to impact loads.
