I'm glad to see some folks have good ones. Right out of the box, mine failed to succeed at the one thing knives are intended to do best. It is dull, like it isn't good at opening letters. I feel that I wasted my $12.99 for sure on this. I tried sharpening it with a stone, and it just laughed at me. I should probably get after it with a dremel.

On sale for $12.99 and I've been wanting to try a ceramic knife but not wanting to spend a fortune on one and be pee'd off! This was WAAAAAAY better than I could have imagined, it will take the hair right off your arm! Goes thru dicing potatoes like nothing and still sharp, even at regular price of 19.95 is a pretty good deal

Is a good deal compared to other stores prices. It cuts like a razor blade. I love mine. You do have to treat it nicely though (put it in a holder), or you can chip the edge.
