Daiso Ceramic Fruit Knife - Cheap and Sharp, A Review

I found a small ceramic knife from Daiso Japan costing only RM5.90. Comes in a variety of colors. I took the blue as it looks the nicest of the bunch. Really sharp but brittle.



This knife is approximately 17 cm long with a blade of 8 cm. The handle is hard plastic and it comes with a plastic sheath that fits the blade snugly. There are cut-outs on the sheath that spells out "ERAMIC" (I believe you supposed to read it with the missing "C" made out of the curve at the end of the sheath).

I will use this knife as a letter opener. Hopefully the sharpness will stay on longer than a typical box cutter blade.

Ceramic Kitchen Knive by iKitch

This is my first ceramic knife. Always wanted one due to the unique material used for the blade. Made under the brand iKitch, it appears to be a Japanese brand by virtue of the kanji writing on the box. However, I cannot find anything on it via Google.

I got this knife for free as part of the few gifts I got when I bought something for the house. As you can see from the packaging, it is set in a nice carbon-black cardboard box with silver letterings on the top.

The box is 32 cm long, 8 cm wide and 3.5 cm tall.

The lid is kept shut with magnets and it flips upwards to reveal the knife. At the back of the cover is some specifications and instructions about the knife.

For protection, there is a plastic sheath with skeleton ribbed sides. The knife is 27.5 cm long with the ceramic blade length of 15.5 cm. That leaves the silicone handle to be 12 cm long.

The watch is extremely sharp and due to the nature of the material used, it retain the sharpness extremely well albeit its brittleness. In the instructions, the knife is only to be used for cutting and not hacking.
