It's time to open your horizons and learn more about the many styles available today, as there's probably a ceramic knife out there just waiting for you!
Ceramic Kitchen Knives Most people are familiar with ceramic knives used in the kitchen, and this is where they really shine. Most professional chefs have at least a few ceramic tools they turn to when they need precise slicing and control. The most popular style is ceramic chef knives, which come in many sizes. This knife is the most commonly used knife in your kitchen and it has a broad blade that curves upward for rocking to mince food or chopping and slicing.
You can also find other styles available in ceramic. Nearly any style of knife that's not used for chopping bone can be made into ceramic, such as paring knives, which taper to a fine point for greater control. Utility knives can also be made into ceramic, and these mid-sized knives are great for cutting large vegetables or sandwich meat and they're available with serrated or non-serrated edges. You may even like a Santoku knife, which is similar to the chef's knife. This style is made for chopping vegetables as well as scooping them up from your cutting board thanks to a wide, flat blade.
