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).

 

 

this picture illustrates how a kyocera ceramic knife holds its edge longer than a metal knife

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

ceramic knives hold their edge longer than a metal knife because the ceramic will not bend the way metal bends

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

 

Advantages of Ceramic Knives
 

Ultra-Sharp Long Life Blade
Holds its edge much longer than steel. Lasts many months or years without sharpening.

Stain and Rust Proof
Impervious to the food acids which discolour steel products.

No Metallic Taste or Smell
Maintains the fresh taste of food. Won't brown fruits and vegetables.

Easy to Clean
Non-stick ceramic surface makes for easy clean-up.

Lightweight and perfect balance make it a pleasure to use.
 

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.
