Ernesto ceramic knives review.
The diamond sharpener was not a great means of sharpening either.
The biggest concern with ceramic knives is the chipping of the blade.

Best carbon steel chef s knives our testing winner duration.
There are only three knives a 6 inch chef knife a 4 inch utility knife and a 3 inch paring knife but they look at lot sleeker than most of the cheaper ceramic knives.
Ceramic knives have the disadvantage that they are difficult if not impossible to sharpen them yourself.
Don t toss your chef s knife into a jumbled drawer or leave it blade down in a knife block.
The reason is that they ve got a smooth black ergonomic handle and they have a rough area near the blade to help you control the blade.
The five knives included are the standard chef s knife bread knife carving knife utility knife and paring knife which are all made from corrosion resistant steel then ice hardened to keep.
Keep your knife blade up in a knife block attach it to a magnetic knife holder or keep it in a drawer with a utensil holder that safely separates sharp blades from other kitchen utensils.
Both of these actions could dull the blade or damage the knife.
