Are cemamic knives really sharp?

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

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

"Ordinary kitchen knives" are not sharp at all, unless you
sharpen them. If I left sharpening to the wife they'd barely cut
through a banana, and I'd be forced into a life of decadent
vegetarianism.

Maybe there is some difference in how we interpret "ordinary kitchen
knife".

I'm sure those knife sets that are sold are already sharpened.

I bought 3 large knives at a yard sale 10 or 20 years ago. I don't even
take care of them and they're still sharp.

Every few years I buy a paring knife at the supermarket. They're still
sharp, just not quite as sharp, when I buy a new one.

Most people don't know what a sharp knife is until they use one that a
chef or meat cutter uses every day.


Few people have a steel to keep them in shape too. Even fewer know how
to properly use one.
