What is the difference between a ceramic knife and a steel knife? which one do you like more?

Every knife has its advantages and disadvantages. No knife can be perfect. It depends on what you do with this knife. Let us compare the advantages and disadvantages of ceramic knives and steel knives to make a better choice.

How should the ceramic knives used in daily life be maintained?

About Ceramic Knives

The Benefits of Ceramic Kitchen Knives

● These knives are very lightweight, which makes them easy to handle.

● The blades are also extremely thin, which allows for very thin slices of fruits and vegetables.

● These basic knives stay sharp for a very long period of time. The sharpness of the edge will last ten times longer than a similar steel blade.

● Ceramic knives will not transfer ions from the blade surface; steel knives leave ions (which can result in faster oxidation of some sliced fruits).

● The blades are non-porous, preventing bacterial growth.

● The knives will not stain.

Negatives of Ceramic Blades

● Ceramic is a brittle material, and it may break if the knife is twisted or flexed. Likewise, the blade may break if the knife is dropped. The knife may get chipped in the dishwasher or when stored in a drawer.

● These knife sets are more difficult to sharpen than a steel knife (even though the edge lasts much, much longer than metal knives).

● Ceramic blades are also not “all-purpose” kitchen knives. They are not useful for cutting through meat with bones, so choose a stainless steel knife for cutting up whole chickens. Do not use this type of knife for cutting through frozen food, as the blade may chip or break.

About Steel Knives

The Benefits of Steel Knives

Drawbacks of Steel Knives

● Steel knives typically weigh more than their ceramic counterparts

● Corrosion: steel knives, even some stainless steel knives, can corrode or rust over time if not properly maintained
