Ceramic knives are made of advanced, high-tech ceramic called Zirconium oxide (also called Zirconia). Zirconia is second in hardness only to diamond and was originally developed for industrial applications where metal components failed. Zirconia is extremely hard, wear resistant, and chemically inert, Zirconium oxide has hardness of 8.2mohs (vs steel at 5-6 mohs and diamond at 10 mohs).

Advantages using ceramic knives:
