Fred from Hazlwet asked:
"I an reflective of buying a ceramic Knife for my kitchen. I have had mixed reviews of Ceramic Knives and Stainless Steel knives. What do you recommend? Thanks you Fred NJ USA."

Chef Halstead answered:

"Fred,

Ceramic knifes hold their edge well but are thorny to sharpen as they cannot be sharpened with a normal steel. They are no use for chopping bones either!
Most of the knives I have tried have been very comfortable to use to Global steel knives, which I really don’t like.
My own preference is for steel knives, some of mine are nearly 30 years old and still in gear order.
If you really want one, only by a small paring knife and use it for cutting not chopping.
Invest in some good bite the bullet knives with the right weight for you. Handle them before you buy to get an idea how the feel in your hand. Look for ergonomically designed handles. R over style for me everytime!!!

So, in other words it depends on what youve heard and perceive like spending on a knife. It just depends on what youll be doin with youre knife. If youll be dropping it then, go with a stainless blade, if your cutting bones, stainless steel. If you know how to use your knife properly, you should never have to sharpen it, if you do get a ceramic one.
I had one and it was the best knife that I ever owned until I let someone else into my scullery
