I wouldn't bother with the ceramic knives. I bought a few over the past few years and the are all junk now.

The blades are very fragile...chip easily, I dropped one a while back and the blade basically exploded into half a dozen pieces..

For example carving a chicken with a Kyocera ceramic blade a few years ago I broke a half moon sized piece from the blade.. Sent the knife back to Kyocera, they re-ground the blade, and I was left with a odd shaped knife..

And I don't use blades in Belushi samurai fashion..
