hee. not just scary ass ceramic knives. Wonderful knives for their original purpose apparently.
Even though the chef that I live with is still partial to Henckels (once a chef finds a set he loves, it takes a LOT for him to ever leave it/try another. which makes sense), he says the Kyocera are lovely knives- although somewhat impractical for general use in a busy large professional kitchen (lots of people, lots of potential for it getting hit - they're not dead easy to break, but they still have some disadvantages against steel in that way)
I've never asked about the practicality as a weapon, mind you .. but I don't want to give him ideas ;)
