Know before you buy
The Innovation series uses a proprietary ceramic-fused technology that makes the blade twice as durable as traditional ceramic. This provides the signature sharpness of ceramic while significantly reducing the risk of chipping or snapping during normal use.
Because ceramic is a hard, brittle material, you should avoid cutting frozen foods, hard cheeses, or ingredients with bones. It is specifically engineered for precision tasks like peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits or boneless meats.
No, you should avoid using glass, stone, or ceramic cutting surfaces. These materials are too hard and will dull or damage the ceramic edge; we recommend using a wood or plastic cutting board to maintain the blade's sharpness.
While the handle is durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing this knife with mild detergent. The dishwasher can cause the blade to knock against other utensils, which may lead to chips or damage to the edge.
Ceramic blades retain their edge much longer than steel, but they will eventually dull. Kyocera offers an authorized sharpening service to restore the blade to its original factory condition.
