Kyocera Innovation Black 3-inch Ceramic Paring Knife
Peeling an apple in the hand, hulling strawberries and trimming the root end from a shallot call for a short, pointed blade that is easy to steer. This 3-inch Innovation Black paring knife is made for that close work. Its ceramic blade will not rust or react with food, so lemon juice and onion leave no stain or metallic taste behind.Kyocera rates its Innovation blades to stay sharp twice as long as its earlier ceramic blades, which Kyocera already credits with holding an edge up to ten times longer than steel. On a knife that spends most of its life on fruit and vegetables, that means long stretches between sharpenings. Ceramic is hard and brittle, though, so leave bones and frozen food to a steel paring knife.Customers ask us how a ceramic knife gets sharpened when it finally dulls. It needs diamond. The Kyocera Diamond Wheel Sharpener handles touch-ups at home, and Kyocera’s authorized service provider, EVERSHARP, sharpens blades and removes chips (see Kyocera’s sharpening service page).
Paring Knife or Utility Knife?Choose the 3-inch blade for work done in the hand or on small produce. The Innovation Black 4.5-inch Utility Knife adds enough length to halve a sandwich or slice a cucumber on the board. For the same blade length with a white blade and a choice of handle colors, see the Innovation White 3-inch Paring Knife. Learn More -
Kyocera Diamond Wheel Knife Sharpener for Ceramic and Steel Knives
Ceramic knives stay sharp a long time, but when one finally dulls, only diamond will restore the edge. The Kyocera Diamond Wheel Knife Sharpener uses a #1000 diamond wheel built for that job, and it works on steel kitchen knives as well, so one compact tool covers the whole knife drawer.Draw the edge through the slot and the wheel turns as it sharpens. The body works for left- or right-handed use. In its catalog, Kyocera says the wheel can remove small chips, up to 0.5 mm, from a ceramic edge. Kyocera advises against using it on serrated blades, such as the Innovation White 5-inch Tomato Knife.How to sharpen a Kyocera knife is one of the questions customers put to us, and this sharpener is our first answer for home maintenance. For larger chips or an edge that is badly worn, Kyocera’s authorized service provider, EVERSHARP, resharpens ceramic knives; see Kyocera’s sharpening service page.

Kyocera Ceramic Wheel Knife Sharpener for Steel Knives
This sharpener is for steel knives. Its wheels are advanced ceramic, a material Kyocera describes as close to diamond in hardness, and they sharpen both faces of a double-beveled steel blade in a few quick passes. Kyocera built it for quick sharpening of everyday kitchen knives.Rubber feet hold it in place on the counter, and the ergonomic body gives the other hand a secure grip. A clear cover over the wheels opens so the filings can be dumped and rinsed out.Customers ask us how to sharpen their Kyocera ceramic knives, and the answer is not this tool. A ceramic wheel cannot sharpen a ceramic blade. For Kyocera ceramic knives, use the Kyocera Diamond Wheel Knife Sharpener, or send the knife to EVERSHARP, Kyocera’s authorized service provider, through Kyocera’s sharpening service page. This sharpener is also not recommended for single-bevel or serrated knives.
