I was tired of buying a good chef's knife (steel), which you could not enter into the dishwasher, had to sharpen and quasi "had to pack up in cotton wool"! I had often heard in various commercials of these ceramic knives. Is clear ... Dishwasher, constantly hot, must fall down, etc.! I wanted to believe these attributes not really! Well. So I ordered this product with added skepticism and was very excited! The packaging was very noble, then I assumed that the content well so that should be "drowned". Not even close! The knife is very comfortable to hold. The rubberised grip and the highlighted "pimples" next to the blade, make sure. The cutting action is as advertised: very sharp, dishwasher safe without loss, no matter what material! Have made "experimentation" my cutting board attacked wooden ... effect similar to a plow. Tomatoes with hard Pelle are no problem and no other food that will bear the kitchen so! I could go on raving, what would affect the ergonomics or effect, leave this and invite everyone to experience this yourself! Quite clear Kaufempflehlung!
