Ceramics are neat but they chip easily are aren't readily sharpened or repaired at home (or even by most professional sharpeners).

I think most people would be better off with a $40 Victorinox Fibrox.

I will concede that cheaper ceramic knives may chip easily but I have been using my set for about 6 years without any issues. The very first cheap ceramic knife I got chipped because I inadvertently dropped it from counter height on a tile floor. My stainless steel knives now just sit idle in drawers and I don't miss them one bit - haven't used one in years.
