It's still a home issue which is why it's somewhat OT.

Anyway, anyone purchase the newer ceramic knives which are on the market?
Are they all what they claim to be? I'm having trouble determining the
differences between all of them which I see advertised on many sites. The
prices fluctuate from $10 to $100 for a set or individual knife.
Therefore, what to look for? Brand?

I have heard too many negative things from people who have owned them to
even try them. Just a decent knife with a diamond stone is adequate. I
have bought Victorinox, Dexter/Russell Sani-Save, and Henckels knives at
garage sales for a buck.

And oh, yes, I have seen many ceramic knives at yard sales, 99% of them with
a divot in the edge.
