About Pocket Knives

When we talk about ceramic pocket knives we are talking about pocket knives with a ceramic blade, not ceramic handles.  One of the big advantages of a ceramic blade is they are extremely hard, harder than steel, so they stay sharp a long time.  Also, a ceramic pocket knife blade does not rust.  They are non-magnetic and non-conductive and can be used where steel bladed knives can’t.

A ceramic blade is not the answer to everything.  You do not want to use them to chop, pry or do anything that may cause the blade to chip.  If you drop the knife the tip may break off.  Ceramic pocket knife blades can not be sharpened like most knives as sharpening requires using a surface harder than the knife blade.  Diamond sharpeners are the normal tools used to sharpen ceramic pocket knives.
