    Would be more expensive, but yeah. Replacing chefs with robots is easy, just costly. A sushi chef though, would take a surgically accurate one, which we have. #grape But we'd also need to make sure the food is 100% safe, as ai wouldn't be able to tell.

    They probably contract out to many small shops to have them sharpened. I think they said one of several masters. plus high end knives are like hand made cars. they do not over saturate the market with them. You wont find them in Walmart. there are low quality ceramic knives that break if you drop them on a hard floor. But these are like diamonds in toughness.

    If a proper wood or plastic chopping board is used then it depends how often you will use your knife as to how often it will need sharpening. I use my FK-160 daily and sharpen it every 2 months approximately. Compare that to stainless steel chef knives which need sharpening after 3-4 uses.

    "Virtually unbreakable ceramic,.. tougher even than the toughest steel equivalent." *BS* I own two Kyocera FKR160HIP-FP black santoku knives made of Zirconia 206. Yes they hold a superbly sharp edge, and yes they are very light - *truly a pleasure to use - as long as you are very gentle with them and never cut anything harder than radishes with them.* Given the choice I will always choose either my Shun blades or my Wusthofs or one of my titanium alloy ForeverCera knives. Why? Because they flex and do not break - and they hold an excellent edge for a long time over many uses. *Moreover, anyone who gets only 3 or 4 uses from their steel blades before they need sharpening needs to invest in higher quality blades (and probably improve their knife skills as well).* I use my Kyoceras often to slice sushi, and I love them as much as I do any of my other knives. But they are certainly not my go-to blades for general use. *Ceramic blades are simply too brittle and too easy to break to use as a daily use general purpose knife.* If you can pick up a 5.5 inch Kyocera Revolution santoku for less than $20 then purchase it and enjoy it. Otherwise *it is wiser to invest in higher quality steel or titanium alloy fine blades that will last a lifetime (and that don't need frequent sharpening even under daily professional use).* Investing time to hone your personal knife skills will also richly reward you for the effort - and make your blades last much longer as well. I hope this helps.

    You gotta love how they talk about how it goes from the extraction and process in Australia to a simple "It goes to china" then to Japan to continue the process. Like they tried to avoid talking about the process in China literately talking about it for 7 seconds only. Any process in China makes it look bad and cheap. Nicely played documentary.

    The hardness of these knives is not as great as this presentation presents- in testing - the onives are blunted by merely cutting a fairly low number of cardboard boxes into shreds… worse yet, when they do blunt, they become useless - the edges are jagged and cannot be rehoned on any known stones or diamond stones

    Refer to 1:32. For the application it's used in, ceramic is an excellent choice. By the way, I wouldn't say that 440c is an "unbeatable steel". I really like my CPM S30v but even that pales in comparison when it comes to performance to other high end steels.
