Ceramic Knife

Post by JerrBear »

I have a Yoshiblade ceramic knife. It is as dull as a butter knife. Never was as sharp as I was made to believe...

Can these knives be sharpened (by a no-talent amateur), or should I just chuck it?

Thanks for any info...

Mr. Wazu,

It might help iff'n I wasn't lowly "Bottom Feeder." Alas, I am unable to open the link.

Thanks anyways...

I don't have ANY of those. Doesn't look like I will be sharpening my Yoshiblade anytime soonness - Not gonna spend a buncha money to sharpen a $20 buck dollar knife...

Thank you very muchness, Mr. Wazu. You have been mos' helpful. I didn't even know if it could be done...

Ya they can be sharpened...but like you said its the cost. To pay someone or even to buy the equipment would cost more then $20 either way...so probably just buy another Yoshiblade!

Hi Jerr,
I got this with my "ceramic" kitchen knife. I call it my tactical, due to it being yellow & white. :lol: The blade says: High Density Zirconia. I think sameness. The "ingredients" claims Whetstone + Diamond (1200)
