Featuring Kyocera’s most popular style knife and peeler, this 2-piece set features a pink 5.5” Santoku Knife and Y Peeler. The Santoku Knife is the ultimate cutting tool for every day slicing of fruits, vegetables and boneless meats since it will remain sharp much longer than a conventional steel knife. The Y Peeler has an ultra sharp ceramic blade that will glide through food only peeling the needed amount and nothing more. Conveniently packaged together, it’s a great gift for any home cook.
The Special Edition pink handled set is available at premier specialty, gift and organic food retailers nationwide or direct from the website: www.KyoceraAdvancedCeramics.com.
About Ceramic Cutlery
Kyocera ceramic knives hold a razor-like edge 10 times longer than conventional cutlery, are chemically inert and typically half the weight of equivalent steel knives. Ceramic will not brown foods, rust or transfer a metallic taste or smell, keeping foods fresh. Perfectly balanced and ergonomic, these lightweight tools reduce fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
