Ive got two ceramic pocket knives that i want to sharpen. where is the best place to send them to? one of them is a boker and i know that i can send it to them and they will get it done, i just whanted to know if there was a better place.
 
Zirconium oxide has a hardness of 8.2 mohs (vs. steel at 5-6 Mohs and diamond at 10 Mohs). Taken from Kyocera website.

You really need diamond in order to sharpen a ceramic blade. I would check with DMT on Google. I would think that you could strop the ceramic edge on a suitable diamond plate to sharpen it.
This quote is taken from DMT's website:
"Whether you have a Chef's knife, a Sashimi Knife, Ceramic knife or even a steep angled meat cleaver, DMT® Sharpeners can do it all."
and here is the DMT web-link:

im the reason that they are dull, i tried to sharpen them on my diamond grit sharpening system, and that didnt turn out so well. i really just want to send them somewhere. like i said i can send the boker back and get it sharpened but the other knife is not made by boker. i would like to send them to the same place.
 
Try Bob at Oldawan Tools. I think he does them. If not, contact Wicked Edge, they have a sharpening service... I saw a Boker ceramic Clay did, it was pretty impressive. (They don't list it on their website, so call or email for info).
