Precision Ceramics is a company
dedicated to the engineering of technical ceramics. From procurement
and supply through to technical design and specialist machining,
we offer a complete service.
To
enhance our range of technical ceramics, we have introduced a brand
new range of high quality ceramic knives. They are made of an
advanced, high-tech ceramic called zirconium oxide (also called
zirconia). This material, which is second in hardness only to
diamond, was originally developed for industrial applications where
metal components failed. Zirconium oxide is extremely hard, wear
resistant, and chemically inert. Zirconium oxide has a hardness of
8.2 mohs (vs. steel at 5-6 mohs and diamond at 10 mohs).

A forged metal blade
is softer than ceramic and is susceptible to chemical corrosion.
In time its edge 'rolls' and 'pits'. |

 |
PC's zirconium oxide
blade resists this wear and holds its edge for months to years
without sharpening. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How
much does a PC ceramic knife cost?
Generally
between £45.00 and £65.00 depending on the size and model.
How do
I sharpen PC ceramic knives?
Unlike
traditional steel cutlery, ceramic knives generally do not need to
be sharpened at all.
Will a
PC knife shatter if dropped?
Ceramic
knives will not shatter if dropped. As with any knife, however, the
delicate tip can break if the knife is dropped on it.
How
can I damage a ceramic knife?
You can
break the tip (and possibly snap the blade off the handle) if you
use a ceramic knife to pry, rather than slice. You can also chip the
edge if you cut into bones.
Are PC
ceramic knives dishwasher-safe?
We do not
recommend putting your PC knives in the dishwasher for several
reasons. Violent motion against other objects, especially hard
plates, could chip the knives and damage the plates. And, of course,
it can be dangerous to reach into a dishwasher tray and accidentally
grab the knife by the blade. Ceramic knives are very easy to clean
with a quick wipe, since food does not stick to the blades.
How
should I store my PC ceramic knives?
You can
store your ceramic knives in a conventional wooden knife block, in
an in-drawer tray, or in their original package.
