I had a lovely little ceramic knife for 6 months, then I let my wife use it.
She broke it in 10 minutes

We would still be discussing it if my wife had done that to a knife.

Yeah. That's the problem with ceramic. Don't rely on these for hunting without a back up.

Yeah I would never use it as a sole hunting knife, but as a skinning knife it's great with the razer sharp edge that lasts about 10 times longer than steel.
Ceramic's a bit like carbon fibre, strong in some uses but weak with lateral force. Although saying that I've dropped mine onto concrete from 3m and it's had some abuse and still haven't chipped it.

put me down for 2 please
