Kyocera Ceramic Knives
Ceramic knives offer practical advantages over steel, most notably their ability to hold a sharp edge for an extended period, their lightweight construction, and the fact that they are chemically inert, meaning they won't rust or alter the taste of food. As a Japanese company and a leader in advanced ceramics, Kyocera engineers its blades for precision and durability. Their product lines cater to different users: the Revolution series features the classic white ceramic blade, providing a dependable, all-purpose cutting tool perfect for everyday kitchen tasks. The Innovation series is designed for users seeking enhanced performance, utilizing a denser, black ceramic blade for even greater edge retention and often including a more ergonomic handle for added comfort and control. Whichever line you choose you can expect phenomenal performance for many years to come.

Kyocera Innovation White 7-inch Ceramic Chef's Knife, Black Handle
Kyocera designed the 7-inch Innovation White chef’s knife for rocking cuts, the motion of keeping the tip on the board and lifting the heel through each slice. That makes it the knife in this line for mincing a pile of parsley or chopping an onion fine.It weighs about half as much as a comparable metal chef’s knife, according to Kyocera, which helps over a long prep session. The handle comes from the Tokyo designer Yohei Kuwano and thins toward the blade for a pinch grip. Its zirconia and alumina blade resists corrosion and stains, and ceramic will not react with acidic food. As with any ceramic knife, use steel for bones and frozen food.When customers ask us how a ceramic chef’s knife is sharpened, we point them to diamond. Kyocera’s diamond wheel sharpener covers home maintenance. For chips or a fully dull edge, EVERSHARP, Kyocera’s authorized service provider, does the work; the form is on Kyocera’s sharpening service page.
White or Black Blade?The Innovation Black 7-inch Chef’s Knife has the same length with a black blade and a soft-grip handle. For straight chopping, the Innovation White 6-inch Nakiri is the flat-edged alternative. Learn More$90.00 -

Kyocera Innovation Black 2-Piece Ceramic Knife Set
Two knives cover a large share of the produce prep in a home kitchen, one long enough for chopping and dicing on the board and one short enough for sandwiches, citrus and small vegetables. The pair is a sensible way to try ceramic alongside the steel knives already in the drawer.Both blades use Kyocera’s Innovation Black ceramic, which the company’s testing credits with twice the edge life of its earlier ceramic. Neither will rust or react with acidic food. Steel remains the right choice for bones and frozen food, since ceramic chips when it is twisted or struck.Buying from Knife Merchant keeps the set under Kyocera’s limited warranty. We are an authorized Kyocera reseller, a question customers raise with us before ordering, and Kyocera excludes knives bought from unauthorized sellers.
Choosing Between the Sets and Open StockThe Innovation Black 4-Piece Set swaps the chef’s santoku for a 7-inch chef’s knife and adds a santoku and a slicing knife. To fill one gap, buy the 6-inch Chef’s Santoku or the 4.5-inch Utility Knife on its own. Learn More$128.50
