Ozeri Elite Chef Black Ceramic Knife Set

When we bought our house we picked up a cheapy knife block and five knives which has been a reasonably good purchase but by no means very good quality. Each knife is blunt not and for some strange reason starting to rust. When I was offered the opportunity to try out the Ozeri Elite black ceramic 3 piece knife set I was extremely excited. 

The knives arrived in a box, full protected and safe for transportation. There are three knives in the set, a 3" paring knife, a 5" slicing knife, and a 6" chef's knife.

Each knife is very elegant and 100% ceramic. Prior to using these knives I didn't even know you could buy ceramic knives. Ceramic will not rust or corrode and is similar in hardness to diamonds, because they're so hard you do need to be careful when using them. They should only be used for cutting in a normal way, not for prising things open etc as they will shatter and break. The sharpness of the blades is said to last ten times longer than those of normal steel bladed knives. 

The black bladed knives look both expensive and stylish. At £49.99 for the set they're by no means a cheap set of knives but even just looking at them, you can tell they're a quality purchase. 

They handles are ergonomically designed, making them more comfortable to use. Each knife is very light in weight and barely feels there when you're using it. 

Having never used ceramic knifes I've got to say how impressed I am. They cut everything I've tried without any issue or hesitation. I'm most impressed by how easily and effectively they cut raw meat. Our usual knives drag through it and the meat tends to look like it's been hacked into pieces, whereas the Ozeri knifes cut the meat neatly and easily. 

Overall I really like the knives and I'm impressed with their quality and how they're reduced chopping time during cooking in our house. 

The only thing I would have liked is for a storage solution to be included. Sadly they don't fit into the knife holder we own, so we'll need to keep them in a draw in their box.
