    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.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Oh shit. That's a bit harsh but wholly understandable. It was a knife she buggered after all.

    If I am counting right then we are up to 15 knives so far if this works out
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    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.
