Ceramic knives have made redundant all our other knives in our kitchen :)
-
I bought a ceramic knife from one of my double reed suppliers. I was just a ceramic pairing knife. Although it worked great for carving oboe and bassoon reeds, my wife figured out is worked even better as a pairing knife. I made a spring assist knife to replace it as an excuse to try out the surface grinder. Not as good as the ceramic knife.

If you've never owned a ceramic knife for use in the kitchen, do yourself a favour and buy a 4" & 6" at least to start.
They are cheap on eBay, you can't sharpen them (at least not easily) and I just buy a new set when they start to dull in 12-18 months.
They are like razor blades, I would never go back to using a carbon or stainless steel knife again regardless of the brand or quality.
