I have 3 ceramic knives and have had some honing success with my DMT Diamond plates. I plan on going back to them to see if I can get them better. My ceramics have very little use because of the delicate nature of them. No bone cutting or use on hard surfaces. I have already broke the point off of one of them. I can't wait to see the results of your project.

I totally agree. It's inspiring to see your creativity at work. And I think this kind of functional creativity is pretty neat - making something that looks cool and does something - nothing better than that.

Wow! What a great idea!
It was always said that a ceramic razor would be to brittle. Well...now we will find out for sure.
Thanks a bunch for doing this!

Why yes, it used to be a paring knife.
However, as shown here, paring knives can make excellent shavers!

diamond-grinding-wheel.com Site I found with a brief search for higher grit diamond wheels of course how ceramic handles on the higher grit wheels I'm unsure....
You have me tempted to pickup a Tachi and give it a go problem I'm seeing is getting it to that initial razor edge anyone know to what fineness these ceramic knife manufacturers sharpen to initially?

I was thinking.
If you did the ceramic blade as a frameback with a steel frame, would that help with strength?
