A few months ago, I got this as a gift for my parents. They always said they wanted to buy ceramic knives. I looked around, When I saw the price for this ceramic knife, I decided, why not? And I am glad I bought them! because They're cheap, they're good. Whenever I come to their house they rave about how easy it is to cut fruits and vegetables, and that they have not yet needed to sharpen them yet. The white ceramic blade makes it look like some futuristic material, very unlike the steel knives and the handles are designed to be ergonomic -- a pleasure to hold and use! Highly recommend!
