Today our mission is to demonstrate the difference between the ceramic knives and the stainless steel knives.
Ceramic or stainless steel blade.
Typically clippers that have steel blades are more affordable than ones with ceramic blades and are more durable than their ceramic counterparts.
First when we talk about steel blades the blades are made of stainless steel to ensure no rusting occurs.
Ceramic knives or steel blades.
Stainless steel blades are selected over normal steel to overcome any tendency to rust.
They fit in behind the front comb part of the blade as the blade cutter runner.
The easiest way to change these is to.
Several companies make ceramic blades using zirconium oxide.
With dry pressing zirconium powder.
Because slice box cutter blades and utility blades are made from zirconium oxide and ground using a finger friendly proprietary process they are much harder.
As a general rule they are less expensive than ceramic blades usually between 4 to 5 per blade as of publication time and more durable.
Ceramic cutters are designed to extend the life of your steel blades.
In fact a ceramic kitchen knife can be even sharper than a similar knife with a stainless steel blade so there s no safety advantage to this kind of traditional ceramic knife.
It is easier to sharpen and sanitize steel blades so overall they are easier to maintain.
At 10 diamond is the hardest material.
We recommend buying these when you are getting new blades or getting blades sharpened as both parts front comb and blade cutter of the blade must be sharp.
Close by is zirconium oxide with a measure of 8 2 while stainless steel falls around 4 5.
