I've seen ceramic knives in the past that cost over $150. I bought my wife a smaller one and it is incredibly sharp. They are for soft foods like tomatoes, not bones or anything hard. Because they are brittle care should be used so as not to chip them and a dishwasher is like sandblasting them. With proper care they last a long time, but the instructions with ours said they can be sent back to be re-sharpened. I don't think you can sharpen them the normal way. The next time I make a HF order I will get a set, for that price you can't go wrong.
