Cuisinart 3-Piece Ceramic 4-Inch Parer with Sheath and Board

I bought this knife and cutting board set because I needed something small to keep at work when I'm prepping lunches on site. I'm not a fan of ceramic blades because they are prone to chipping and honestly; a high quality knife with a high carbon blade is sharper. The problem there is you have to sharpen it and I'm not going to keep honing stones at work where they're likely to get lost or damaged.

The knife is very sharp and you should use the cutting board to protect the blade as well as your work surface. It's very light overall so it's not well balanced. But, it's a task knife. Ergonomics are not crucial for this kind of cutting. The handle feels like a rubber / silicone composite. It remains fairly tacky when dry but if juice or wetness hit the handle, it gets slick.

The sheath is cheap but it does the job protecting the user from accidentally slicing the Hell out of himself if it's stored haphazardly in a drawer. My one significant complaint is the blade color. It's matte white and unlike steel or anodized blades, you can not distinguish the slicing side since it doesn't shine. If you left this knife lying out an adult will think it's plastic and probably lacerate themselves if they mishandle it.

I'm happy with the quality, especially given the price. There's room for improvements but they are based on my personal preferences more then any detraction of the product.
