Has anyone else used these?

I purchased 6 whilst in France, paid about £80 quid.

They are simply amazing, better than any conventional knife I have used, ultra sharp.

Don't require sharpening but they cannot be used for cutting through bone, not that ive ever had to...
 
Got a set and they are blunt and rubbish and can't sharpen them.
A decent knife is extremely sharp anyway, then you have the downsides of sharpening, no bones etc. and we'll I think they are a complete gimmick for home use.
 
Ceramic knives most certainly do need sharpening, all knives need a sharpen every now and then, and they're a bugger to sharpen.
Plus you're stuck with the manufacturer edge, they're poor for weight distribution.

And they're generally poor for butchery, try cutting through bone with a ceramic chefs knife and see how far you get.

I made it quite clear as do the manufacturers that they are not intended for use on bone.
 
Used a couple and not impressed. they can be sharp and hold an edge but a Good hard steel knive can have a thinner profile without being too delicate and also has a good weight, which is way nicer to cut with in my opinion
