funny story....last year I'm directing Jeff Starr from Napa on a demo stage...
we both use Heinkel boning knives as our primary knife. At the end we are both looking for our knives and find a wood handled one and a flat plastic one. Neither of us remembers which is which (I've got both wood and plastic).....so he says he can tell which is his because it'd be dull....nope I hadn't sharpened mine either. He preferred the wood and I prefer the plastic...divied them up and went on our ways.....

The ceramic knife is a gem, it's razor sharp....has kept that edge and SLICES ripe tomatoes without effort....I use it mainly on vegetables. The guys in the kitchen know that it's not the knife to borrow....they break it they buy me a new one and it wasn't cheap.
