How does Kyocera produce the ceramic knives?
We take you around the world to show you how do they do it. Japan has long been the spiritual home of the swordsmith and since the time of the samurai, they’ve been the undisputed masters of the steel blade. Here on the southwest island of Kyushu a company is breaking with tradition and has started producing a revolutionary new type of super-sharp blade made not from steel but a kind of ceramic. So how do they do it, sushi chefs, our modern masters at wielding a blade, and up until recently these kitchens would have been filled with knives made from stainless steel but now there’s a new kid on the chopping block.

The knife is the most important tool that a chef uses. A chef’s knife is the most versatile knife in the kitchen if you have to buy one knife make it a chef’s knife.

First, let’s talk about steel this knife here is Japanese made in a western-style you can see it has a lot of similarities to the Wusthof here which is German made. The big difference between these two is that this knife is made of carbon steel a high carbon steel not stainless steel this knife will react with the environment so it will patina and darken over time and potentially rust as well.

The patina on this steel right here is from six or seven years of use in a professional kitchen whereas the stainless steel knife won’t patina or rust over time in most normal circumstances. The reason you might choose a carbon steel knife carbon steel is easier to resharpen and many people myself included prefer the aesthetics of a knife that adapts to its environment over time.
