Kyocera Revolution Series

Professional Chef’s Knife

The revolution series is Kyocera’s most popular line of ceramic knives. This series  has the black oxide blade which creates a tougher ceramic material than the white  ceramic blades. These knives are perfect for performing a wide variety of cutting  tasks, such as fine chopping and slicing to dicing. The blade has a deeper profile for much greater knuckle clearance for easier use. It has an ergonomic resin handle  that is comfortable and provides precise control which makes it so easy to use.

Kyocera has pioneered advanced ceramic kitchen knives. These knives are impervious  to juices, acids, oils and salts, leave no metallic tastes on your food which help  maintains freshness of your fruits and vegetables. These knives are made in Japan  and should only be hand washed and used on a wooden or plastic cutting board.

Kyocera has a 12 step quality control process. One knife will pass through the hands  of over a dozen people on its journey through the manufacturing process. Kyocera has  spent over 5 decades in perfecting the art of the best and most durable ceramic  available today. This is why some other knife manufacturers want Kyocera to produce  their ceramic blades for them.

Kyocera has also added a service for their customers to sharpen their knives when it  is needed. You just pay shipping and handling and Kyocera will sharpen as many of  your Kyocera knives that you have. Everything is sent to a Southern California  address where each knife goes through a 5 step sharpening process. Customers  typically get their knives back in 7-10 days usually as sharp or sharper than when  they were new. The only other recommended way to sharpen these blades is with a Kyocera electric ceramic knife sharpener. This sharpener has a guide the keep the  blade straight and uses a high grade diamond wheel.

According to The Cutlery and Allied Trades Research Association (CATRA), an  independent testing organization "Recent tests show that the life of a Kyocera  ceramic blade without re-sharpening is approximately 15 times that of a typical  steel blade." Advanced Ceramic, or Zirconium Oxide, is extremely dense, achieving a  much tighter weave than any metal material, resulting in the finest and sharpest  edge possible.

About the only thing you have to be careful about when using a ceramic blade is to  not use it as a pry bar or try to cut something very hard. It also goes without  saying about dropping it on a hard surface. If used correctly, these ceramic blades  can last you a lifetime. All Kyocera ceramic products are warranted to be free from  defects in material or workmanship for five years.
