Default Ceramic kitchen knives

I would like to try buying a ceramic kitchen knife like this

just mostly out of curiosity. Has anyone tried them. Thanks

You got to be kidding! Made from Zirconia? You
ought to read the warning labels on electronic
gear with zirconia ceramic in them. They
basically tell you to get into a moon suit
whenever touching the component. (Maybe I'm
thinking of the wrong ceramic, or that hazard has
been reevaluated.) Anyway, I suspect if you drop
it, it will be in a million pieces. Not real good
to drop knives anyway. I also suspect the blades
would chip easily. So, don't put them in the
dishwasher.
