I was intrigued by a knife with a ceramic blade. this was the least expensive one i could find to try i got it very light blade a tad short but enough to evaluate it. fools you into thinking it is regular plastic so i took a razor blade and tried to scratch it but i could not then a tool steel end mill cutter would not touch it i only had for a week before i dropped my cordless drill on it and broke blade it is brittle but till then worked great on things i cut like plastic packing most everything comes in that is almost impossible to open this cut it easy also used as letter and package opener worked great on them too also fruit and meat no problem. Now to buy another one with longer blade now that i know Ceramic blades work within reason.I've been look at getting a ceramic knife for carrying, I have a couple ceramic kitchen knife. I love them. However, my experience with them and this knife show me that ceramic has its applications. For my needs ceramics are just too brittle. I guess I'll have to stick with steel. It has a fair edge. It will lift a few hairs, but not quite shave. It doesn't have any kind of lock or point to the blade. I gave it four stars, because it works great for its intended purpose. That purpose just doesn't serve me.It is sharp, it folds, it does what it says it will do. I wanted it for crafts, using it with a cutting board, but because of the way the handle and the blade are set up it is slightly awkward to get the blade flat against the board. The 'point' on the handle next to the blade and the blade being aligned with the top of the handle rather than the bottom prevents getting the full edge of the blade on the board. I have to work at the edge of a table so that the handle can go over the edge of the table making the blade flat against the board.
