Care

Cut on a wood or plastic board. Marble, stone, glass, tile and plates will chip a ceramic edge. Kyocera recommends a steel knife for carving, boning, prying, frozen food and cheese, and advises against flexing the blade or twisting it in the cut.

Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and dry right away. Kyocera advises keeping its knives out of the dishwasher because handles can warp over time; if one does go in, use the top rack only. A ceramic blade can break if dropped on a hard floor, so store it in a block such as the Kyocera Universal Knife Block or in a Kyocera 7-inch Edge Guard.

Warranty

Kyocera’s limited warranty covers its knives only when they are bought from an authorized Kyocera reseller, and Knife Merchant is one. For purchases made after July 13, 2023, coverage runs one year from delivery and excludes misuse and accidental damage.
