Ceramic Knives
Always on the lookout for products that will make your life easier, HandStands is pleased to introduce the latest in cutlery advancements: ceramic.
And if ceramic brings to mind stressful childhood memories of Grandma calling out, “Slow down or you’ll break my priceless ceramic vase!” (pronounced ‘vaus’ of course), you’re thinking of the wrong thing. This is not your grandmother’s ceramic. This ceramic is tough enough to withstand being thrown across the room or onto a hard floor (which by the way we don’t recommend, especially with knives). In fact, Keuken Ceramic Knives are not recommended for the dishwasher, but only because they could damage your other valuables.
Keuken Ceramic Knives retain their original sharpness up to 10 times longer than most household steel knives. The ergonomic handle provides smooth slicing, and allows you to maintain a strong controlled grip. Impervious to food acids' discoloration, the Keuken Ceramic Knives leave no metallic taste or odor, and help to maintain the freshness of fruit and vegetables.
This modern innovation is easy to clean, simple to use, and promises to be the perfect kitchen companion. Try an individual piece, or one of our convenient knife block sets.

Q: How should I store my ceramic knife?

It is highly recommended to replace the knife in the block (or your own existing block) or to put the cover back on once done using the knife. This will help prolong the life of the knife (prevents objects from falling on the blade and chipping it) and will help prevent injury. Please keep and store out of reach of children to prevent injury!
Q: Can ceramic knives be put in the dishwasher?
A: It is highly recommended that you wash your ceramic knife by hand and NOT wash it in the dishwasher.
Q: If I drop my ceramic knife, will it break?
A: Ceramic knives are extremely hard and durable and can withstand being dropped on most surfaces; however, they can be damaged if dropped from great heights, if dropped with great force, or dropped on extremely hard tile or stone floors. To prolong the life of your knife, it is highly encourage to wash all ceramic knives by hand. Due to the density of the ceramic material used, you will find that they are actually quite easy to wash by hand.
