Are some sharper than steel knives, like this ad says?

"The sharpness of our ceramic knife is 10 times than ordinary kitchen
knives,"?


I really don't know or have any experience with ceramic knives, but I
wonder if they are so good why don't we see butchers and other food
professionals using them?


I guess if you drop it on a hard surface it is going to break.Â* A good
knife can last many years and sharpening is not that difficult.
Apparently ceramic knives stay sharp much longer but to restore a good
edge might require sending them off to be resharpened.

Correct on breaking. Many butchers us knives from a service that comes
in and sharpens them, replaces them, etc. They get a lot of hard use.
While great for home use, I don't see them working as well for a butcher
that does more than the typical straight cut.
