What if the best ceramic kitchen knives were signed by TB Cutlery Company?

Black or white blades, various sizes, sold individually or in box sets, one thing that ceramic kitchen knives have in common is their increased presence in supermarket aisles and kitchen utensil manufacturer’s displays. These knives are known for their revolutionary cutting capacity and dull-resistant properties however they don’t all offer you the same level of quality. How can you keep from being shortchanged and be sure that the knife you are about to purchase is high quality? TB Groupe, specialist in French-made cutlery, dishes out its guide to choosing the best ceramic kitchen knives.

What are the best ceramic kitchen knives?

Zirconium oxide

One of the materials used to create the ceramic for kitchen knives is zirconium oxide. This natural mineral is often used to create synthetic diamonds and has similar properties to that of the famous precious stone.

Zirconium oxide has been used for decades in various industrial fields including the automotive (parts for motors), medical (hip and dental prostheses) and highly technical fields (rocket components), etc. This chemically neutral material is biocompatible, ultra-resilient and can withstand very high temperatures without changing its properties.

TB Cutlery: An expert’s manufacturing secrets revealed

In order to create its array of ceramic knives and cutlery articles TB Groupe uses powdered zirconium oxide. This powder is heated and compressed under pressure, transforming it into a solid mass with the help of a binding substance.

The best ceramic kitchen knives have a higher level of zirconium oxide present in the final product. The level of zirconium oxide has a direct correlation with the blade’s efficiency -the higher the level the more efficient.

Our products are created as mentioned above with the greatest care. Ceramic brings a wide variety of advantages to our kitchen knives including the following:

A very efficient cutting-edge that is guaranteed not to need sharpening for several years (3-5 years on average)

Very hygienic: does not transfer odors or bacteria, does not crush or deform the foodstuffs you are cutting or change their flavor and is not affected by their acidity. Ceramic kitchen knives can be used on all foodstuffs. Individuals that love fresh fruit and vegetables and preparing delicate and hygienic dishes particularly enjoy these knives.

Proven anti-rust properties: ceramic does not oxidize

Incredibly easy to maintain: to make ceramic sparkle all you need is a wet rag or soapy sponge

Warning: In order to keep your ceramic knife’s blade intact never use it as a lever or for deboning. The blade’s point is very delicate and vulnerable to external shocks and should not be twisted. You should use a wooden or plastic cutting board and avoid cutting on stainless steel, porcelain or stone surfaces.

Black or white blades

You have probably noticed that there are two types of ceramic blades: black and white.

Black ceramic kitchen knives are slightly different from their counterpart in that they also contain carbon which produces their color. By adding carbon to the zirconium oxide it solidifies and increases their strength. These characteristics are obtained through an additional heating process at an even higher temperature.

Ceramic kitchen knives with black blades are known for having cutting edges that are sturdier than those with white blades.
