I never understood having that material as a blade. It's brittle, not terribly sharp, and an absolute bastard to resharpen.
Plus, if you're using it for food and it chips, theres a good chance that you're going to be ingesting shards of silicon carbide. The molecular structure of SiC lends itself to be INSANELY sharp when fractured, and would be the last thing I want roaming around in my bowels.
