Knives

A serrated ceramic knife designed for clean, controlled slicing of tomatoes, citrus, and other delicate-skinned produce. The Kyocera Innovation White 5" Tomato Knife is built for ingredients with soft interiors and thin, resilient skins. The serrated edge grips the surface immediately, allowing you to break through the skin without crushing the flesh underneath. The blade is made from zirconia ceramic, which holds its edge significantly longer than steel and does not react with food. It will not transfer metallic taste or cause browning, making it well suited for tomatoes, citrus, and other high-acid ingredients. Compared to a straight-edge utility knife, the serrated edge requires less pressure to start the cut. This reduces tearing and compression, especially on ripe or delicate produce. This knife produces clean, uniform slices with minimal effort. It is especially useful for prep where presentation matters—tomatoes, fruits, and garnishes where clean edges are noticeable. The 5" length provides enough reach for slicing while remaining easy to control. It works well both on the board and for in-hand tasks. The serrated edge requires less frequent maintenance than a straight edge. When sharpening is eventually needed, it should be done professionally. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive slicing. The handle provides a secure, comfortable grip for controlled cuts. The blade will not rust or corrode and is easy to maintain with basic cleaning. Learn More

A precision utility knife designed for non-reactive prep work and controlled, detail-oriented cutting. The Kyocera Innovation Black 4.5-inch Utility Knife is built for tasks where a clean edge and chemical neutrality matter. Utilizing Kyocera’s Z212 Zirconia ceramic, this blade holds its edge significantly longer than standard ceramic. In use, this means less time maintaining the edge and more consistent performance during extended prep. The non-reactive nature of ceramic is the real advantage. It will not discolor or affect the flavor of ingredients, making it especially well suited for citrus, herbs, and oxidation-prone items like apples and avocados. The 4.5-inch (110mm) profile bridges the gap between a paring knife and a slicer. It offers enough length for trimming small proteins while remaining agile for intricate, off-the-board work. The Innovation series’ upward-slanted handle provides a stable pivot point and keeps your knuckles clear of the board. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive prep. This is a rust-proof, non-magnetic knife designed for precision work in a professional environment. Learn More

A lightweight ceramic slicer designed for clean, precise cuts on fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins. The Kyocera Innovation Black 5" Slicer is built for tasks that benefit from a longer, narrower blade. It provides control during slicing and helps produce even, consistent cuts. The blade is made from zirconia ceramic. It holds its edge longer than steel and does not react with food. It will not transfer metallic taste or cause browning in ingredients like apples, avocados, citrus, or tomatoes. This knife produces very clean cuts. The narrow blade moves through food with minimal resistance and leaves smooth, even surfaces. It is especially useful for slicing high-acid ingredients and delicate items where clean cuts matter. It also works well for sandwich prep and other off-the-board tasks where a larger knife feels cumbersome. Ceramic behaves differently than steel. It stays sharp for a long time, but it is not flexible. It can chip if used on hard materials or if the blade is twisted during use. Use it for fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins. Do not use it on bones, frozen foods, or hard squash. Avoid prying or applying lateral pressure. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive slicing. The upward-angled handle provides a secure grip and helps keep your knuckles clear of the cutting surface. The blade will not rust or corrode. When sharpening is needed, it requires a diamond wheel or professional service.  
Who This Is For Users who want clean, even slices with minimal effort Prep work involving fruits, vegetables, and high-acid ingredients Cooks who prefer a lightweight knife for controlled slicing and off-board work Not ideal for: Hard materials such as bones, frozen foods, or hard squash Heavy-duty cutting or chopping tasks Users who prefer a flexible or heavier steel blade Learn More

A compact ceramic santoku designed for clean, controlled cuts on vegetables, fruits, and small prep tasks. The Kyocera Innovation Black 5.5" Santoku is built for users who want the function of a santoku in a more compact, easy-to-control size. It works well for vegetable prep, slicing, and quick, repetitive cutting tasks. The blade is made from zirconia ceramic. It holds a sharp edge longer than steel and does not react with food. It will not transfer metallic taste or cause browning in ingredients like apples, avocados, or herbs. This knife produces very clean cuts. The flat edge supports push cutting, and the blade moves through produce with minimal resistance, leaving smooth, even surfaces. Compared to earlier ceramic knives, this blade maintains its edge longer in regular use, so it requires less frequent sharpening. Ceramic behaves differently than steel. It stays sharp for a long time, but it is not flexible. It can chip if used on hard materials or if the blade is twisted during use. Use it for vegetables, fruits, herbs, and boneless proteins.
