Everything you need to know about ceramic knives

Alt du trenger å vite om porselenskniver

The porcelain knives from Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik are made from a material that places them just below diamond on the Mohs scale of hardness. This means that the knife edge retains its sharpness much longer than knives made of steel. Porcelain knives will also never rust and do not alter the taste of food in the way steel knives can with some ingredients. In addition, the knives are lightweight and easy to clean.

For example, if you cut an apple in half, it will quickly turn brown due to a chemical reaction between the acid in the steel, the apple, and the surrounding air. Porcelain is a "dead" material and delays this browning process by approximately 3-4 times longer.

How to use a ceramic knife

Since the knives are made of ceramic, you must treat them differently than you would steel knives! Ceramic knives have less flexibility. Therefore, avoid bending the knife blades.

They are excellent for cutting:

  • Fruit
  • Vegetables
  • Cheese
  • Meat

Use a wooden or plastic cutting board. This will reduce wear and tear on the blade.

We recommend storing the knife in the included sheath or in our practical and decorative knife holder.

Due to friction in dishwashers, we, like all other knife manufacturers, recommend that you wash the knives by hand. To sharpen a ceramic knife, you need a diamond sharpener!
