Most popular blogger item at the NRA meeting
I think just about every blogger there purchased ceramic kitchen knives from Stone River. I’ve used mine exactly once on some salmon fillets and, man, that knife is sharp. Others report similar results. It will keep an edge forever, in theory. We’ll see.
They also have a line of folding knives but I don’t know that anyone bought one.

Don’t think I see the utility of a ceramic blade in a pocket knife. I do too many “non-knife” things with my blade which would likely damage the ceramic blade. (you know, prying off beer bottle tops, turning screws, and generic prying.)
They do sound great for a kitchen knife though. I just can’t see replacing my Henkels though.

Ceramic knives?
Do those go through airport security as easily as those plastic pistols?

Just don’t drop them on the floor or use them as throwing knives, because they’ll shatter like glass.

Hard and thus stays sharp. But brittle.
I’m happy to stick with steel, myself. Sharpening is easy and fast.

Hmm. I swear, if I am so foolish as ever to board an airliner again, I will carry on a lump of flint and a piece of a deer antler. I will have a razor-sharp blade to carry out of the aircraft if the flight is at all boringly long. If anyone asks when boarding, I’ll tell’em I’m going to an anthropology convention. You have to remember not to twist the stone axe when chopping wood, because it will break. That’s no problem when cutting soft things, like people.

Was it sharp enough to make the onion cry?
