Does anyone know if this knife comes with a sheath?

Rob131974I don't think so, I have the second-smallest of these, from a Japanese grocery store. It came in a plastic presentation box, no sheath. I didn't find it to hold its edge terrifically well, though I touched it up a little with a DMT fine bench plate. Kyocera does sharpen free of charge, if you pay to ship them the knife, though, which will be my next step.

Rob131974These are kitchen knives, so no. If you want a sheath, I suggest making your own though ceramic would probably cut through anything less than 3 mm thick

PaganDYes I know it is a kitchen knife but I was hoping that it would have a sheath or case because I don't have a block to put it in and I didn't want to put it in the drawer without having something to protect it but thank you for the info.

blacksmithtbOk thank you for the info but if it needs sharpening I have a Work Sharp and you can get diamond belts for sharpening ceramic.

Rob131974Do not put knives in a drawer without any sort of cover or at all. Ceramic knives do not need sharpening as even blunt they are still very sharp compared to steel knives. If you must 'sharpen' ceramic knives, use a ceramic rod or stone otherwise you will destroy the ceramic material

Rob131974All sorts of covers in all sorts of sizes exist for kitchen knives, not hard to find at all

PaganDI was doing research on the web and everything that I found said that if you wanted to sharpen ceramic that you had to use a diamond stone or belt because the ceramic is so hard nothing else works.

Rob131974Hi, Your infomation isn't accurate regarding sharpening ceramic knives with a diamond stone, as these stones are only meant for steel, they will destroy the ceramic as in chip & shatter which is what I have said already. Only 3 things can 'sharpen' a ceramic knife : Ceramic stone or rod Leather strop Arkansas stone
Though keep in mind the last two only hone it so if the ceramic blade is sharp to begin with then maintaining the edge with the last two is more than fine.
In all the years I have owned ceramic knives, I have never had to sharpen them & I use them pretty much daily.
Hope this helps.
