Cucumber Salad Recipe + Kyocera Chef’s Knife Review
Stocking up on long-lasting kitchen equipment can really add up. I know because sometimes I am dumb and will spend endless dollars on pots and pans because I have always thought that more expensive must mean better quality – NO!!! I was so wrong, but better late than never for a big ole slap of reality. I am so excited to have partnered up with Kyocera for some product reviews, including this new Kyocera 6″ Ceramic Chef’s Knife. Their products are so affordable but more importantly such amazing quality. I use this knife just about every day now and its only $59!!! My other chef’s knives are easily $150+, I wish I would have found this one sooner! So I decided to show it off with my favorite SIMPLE cucumber salad recipe!
The thing I love so much about ceramic knives is the durability, sharpness, and the fact they are so lightweight – oh, did I mention this one comes with a lifetime warranty and complementary sharpening?! Yea, just like my Kyocera Frying Pan, I am now obsessed with this chef’s knife. Seriously, these products are so affordable and I use them more than I use my $150+ kitchen tools…. EYE OPENING!!!!

I’d love to try a Kyocera knife. I have wanted one for years. I bought a cheaper brand last year and was disappointed with it.
Hilary says
I will definitely be getting this one — I have wanted a better knife, but I haven’t been able to justify the price tags to my budget. This one sounds great!
