What is the best inexpensive ceramic knife and where can I get it?
Is a ceramic knife better than SS?

This risk of shattering is only a real risk with the cheaper ones. I own some of the Damascus series knives from Kyocera (which, yes, are prohibitively expensive so they aren't for everybody--they're fired twice instead of just once), and have done all of the things mentioned in this thread to them, and not so much as a chip. If you go with the low-end Kyocera blades or get REALLY cheap and buy Eagle's ceramic knives, then there is some inherent risk, but I do think it's overblown.Michael in FtW said:Exactly! And, like noted before - if you drop one there is a good chance it is going to shatter or chip. And, there are thing you can't do with one - like laying it on its side and smacking a clove of garlic ....
