Kyocera Ceramic Adjustable Peeler

NOTE - this is a leftover lot, so the product cannot be returned.

A ceramic blade stays sharp for a very long time and requires no additional maintenance. This series is made of black Ziconia ceramic with a black pakka wood handle. A nice blade that is a really good alternative to the classic steel blade.

The blades from Kyocera are made of a type of ceramic called Zirconia 206® This is pulverized and placed in a mold and pressed with a pressure of about 300 tons. The knife blade is then baked in an oven at 1400 degrees Celsius for 48 hours. Eggs are then ground onto the baked blade and this takes place in 3 different rounds - and each time is handwork. Thus, Kyocera makes a ceramic blade and they have done so since 1984.
