I recently grabbed a Kyocera Ceramic Knife to chop up some cooked bacon slices for my usual breakfast omelet. I was surprised by how the knife sliced easily through even the tougher parts of the bacon, making my prep job easier, which meant less time before I could enjoy my delicious breakfast! Knowing how sharp a Kyocera knife can be, even after regular use, I gathered more information on Kyocera ceramic products, and their benefits, to share with you for today’s ToolBox Tuesday Feature!
