Correction
[edit]I have corrected the values for the Mohs scale.
Sources?
[edit]I would love to see some sources, particularly for the security part. Is anyone else working on this? I might give it a shot myself later. 65.203.232.115 (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I would love to see a verified source regarding the statement that the so-called "black" blades are actually tougher than the white ceramic ones.--Mr. Baby Man (talk) 07:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to see some sources for the security part too. I have a few of these ceramic knives. The ones I have are very light, very inexpensive, and made in China. That leads me to believe they don't have any metal in them, because adding metal is completely unnecessary and would drive the production price up. The USDA concerns themselves with food, not knives, and the ATF concerns themselves with firearms, not knives. Certain types of knives (e.g. "butterfly" knives) are illegal in certain parts of the U.S., but fixed-blade kitchen knives aren't illegal anywhere that I know of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.249.45.32 (talk) 02:23, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Knives that are undetectable by metal detectors and are manufactured for stabbing are illegal to possess in Delaware. The law is 11 Del. C. § 1446A (2012). Zginder 2015-11-23T03:51:07Z

[edit]Can some one verify this stuff about the mohel or mutilation,, whatever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DGerman (talk • contribs) 01:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Both knives are ceramic. "Damascus steel" is just the name of the design. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.110.51 (talk) 09:05, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Sharpness
[edit]I think this article should state how sharp the best Ceramic knives are compared to the best carbon steel knives and the best stainless steel knives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neutrino1200 (talk • contribs) 09:25, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
A top quality steel blade can be sharper then a ceramic knife, but it won't stay that way, of course a steel blade can be sharpened without expensive diamond honing blocks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.84.185.84 (talk) 01:19, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
History
[edit]I'd like to see some history of ceramic knives here. It seems like the modern kitchen knife is all this article really talks about. Surely ceramic knives have been used for other applications in the past? I did a quick web search, and didn't find much so I don't really know what else to say about that. Hopefully someone knows.
