You have got to be kidding me.  My ceramic knife’s blade broke in half.  The same ceramic knife I got in order to proudly support Breast Cancer research as I cut fruits, vegetables and boneless meats in the privacy of my kitchen.  The same ceramic knife that sells for $69 on <a href="http://www.mingspantry.com/kypihasped5s.html">Ming Tsai’s official website</a>.  That’s right… the exact one I showed on WCBS and said it was fabulous… well it was… way back in, I don’t know… October!

Now I have to eat my words and pan the Kyocera Special Edition 5.5â€ Santoku Ceramic Knife with an ergonomic pink-colored handle because it doesn’t even last a full five months before it breaks. Nice value, huh?

The Kyocera Special Edition 5.5â€ Santoku Ceramic Knife also receives extra special recognition for being the first company to get panned by me publicly.  Four and a half years ago when I started Savvy Mommy, I said I would only give props, but this turn of events really upsets me. 

Here starts the search for a new knife to cut some fruit and vegetables.  Who would have thought Kyocera “the largest and highest-quality manufacturer of ceramic knives and kitchen products in the worldâ€ wasn’t up to task.
