Ceramic blades can be very sharp and hold the edge a long time, but like glass, they are extremely brittle. Used carefully in the kitchen, they may last, but not as an everyday knife. The blade itself can even shatter if you drop it.

I bought one and have used it a fair amount. it cuts very, very well and holds an edge. But, the knife comes with a note saying Boker has to sharpen it (the price is reasonable but I don't remember the cost).
But, you can not use this as a solid utility knife. Any sharp blows or torque to the blade may shatter ceramic :^( I would not take it backpacking.

I think they are worth the price if you want a solid, light, always sharp knife.
