kitchen knife - recommendations?

[racegunner]

Are ceramic (Boker) kitchen knives worth it? How do they sharpen up and do they need it that often? Would like to get one good chef's knife. The Zwilling or Henckles don't impress me.

Story: Drove down to Ohio to visit a friend. Brought the sharpening equipment along. Their knives were stone dull (I really needed a wheel!) Fixed up the kitchen blades and they become dull immediately! His wife was using a GLASS cutting board... Who thought of that bad idea?

Wow. Try using the ceramic knife on the glass board and see if something shatters.
