Over the past 40 years, Kyocera has obtained numerous patents for its ceramic knife technology, including innovations in blade geometry, materials, and manufacturing processes. In 2020, Kyocera launched its patented INNOVATIONblack® series, bringing more than 12 years of research and development to market to deliver blades that can maintain razor-like sharpness up to twice as long as conventional ceramic knives.
In 2022, the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBT) recognized Kyocera’s ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% (compared to 2020 levels), and to increase renewable energy adoption up to 20X (compared to 2014 levels), by fiscal year 2031.

Kyocera Ceramic Knives – Innovation Meets Performance
Handcrafted in
- Long-lasting sharpness with less maintenance: Kyocera’s advanced ceramic materials, which are harder than traditional steel blades, offer exceptional edge retention and long-lasting sharpness. This makes them ideal for everyday whole foods prep, such as slicing fruits, vegetables, herbs and boneless meats.2
- Lightweight and ergonomic: Kyocera’s ceramic knives are often lighter than steel knives, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. Their design maximizes grip ability and ease of use to make repetitive cutting tasks easier.
- Hygienic and easy to clean: Unlike metal knives, ceramic blades are chemically non-reactive and will not contribute to food oxidation. This also means they can be sanitized using bleach, making them a hygienic choice for preparing boneless raw chicken and other boneless meats.
- Rust-resistant: Ceramic knives never corrode, eliminating the need for special care in wet or humid conditions.
1As of 2024 (Kyocera’s data). 2Ceramic knives are not recommended for deboning or cutting harder foods.
