Use it with large ingredients like eggplants, hunks of soft cheese, and boneless meats. Blade 7 in Handle 5 in Weight 5.3 in Each of our ceramic blades undergoes a rigorous development process. First, the blades are formed through cold isostatic pressing, which creates a high-density ceramic that’s twice as sharp as steel and comparable in hardness to a diamond—much stronger than traditional “hot” process ceramics. Then, one by one, our blades are hand-shaped and meticulously rounded. Ergonomic handles - Built with comfort and simplicity in mind, the handle of each Ausker knife is made of ABS—a gentle, BPA-free, non-toxic plastic—and finished with a gentle thermoplastic rubber. The ergonomic shape ensures good balance and a secure grip on the handle. When cared for properly, our ceramic knives will remain sharp for years. To preserve their edge (and keep everyone safe), we’ve included a protective sheath for each blade in the Ceramic Knife Set.
