-How does a ceramic utility knife differ from a metal utility knife？

-The only difference is the material the blade is made out of. If you know anything about knives, you’ll know the blade is the most important part of the knife, thus making ceramic and metal knives very different. What happens when you replace the most important part of a knife? You’ll get a bunch of pros and cons.

Pros-for its price, there better be some pros.

SHARPNESS – The materials that make up a ceramic blade is very hard. It’s the second hardest material, right after diamonds. After it has been sharpened, it can keep its razor-sharp edge and will not wear out. If you ever do need to sharpen it, most of the manufacturers will sharpen it for free. Manufacturers of metals knives will never offer you that service since they need to be sharpened so often.

ODORS – Ceramic material is not very porous at all. This keeps the blade from transferring odors from one food item to another. You can cut something spicy, give it a quick rinse and then cut something else. The spiciness won’t transfer to the next food item.

SANITARY – Ceramic blades are very dense, with very little pores. Just like your face, the fewer pores there are, the less dirt and grime can get into the pores. A quick rinse in warm water will get your ceramic knife a lot cleaner than a thorough scrubbing on a metal knife.

WEIGHT – Ceramic material is very light weight. The lighter the weight, the less strain on your arms and shoulders. You can rip through all your cutting like a pro.
RUST – No metal means no rust.

With such many excellent properties, advanced ceramics can be ideal for making tools in a wide range of applications. In fact, as an expert in this field, we have received many interesting inquiries from different industries, asking us to improve their products by replacing traditional metal materials with advanced ceramics. Of course, after modifications, these products exhibit better performance in functionality, usability, safety, and longevity.
