  1. I'm always skeptical when I hear a bunch of silly claims like "never needs sharpening" (anything bar wolverines claws will eventually dull), or made-up science sounding terms like "nano sharp". All things seem to point to this wonder metal being the same or very similar to LM1, which is a bit of a joke when compared to even cheap cutlery steels: google Cliff Stamp's review of LM1. The real revolution here is that they can mass-produce metal in any shape without having to employ skilled bladesmiths, but in this case the design looks pretty uninspired as well. These are the same misleading and cheap marketing tricks used to sell crap knives on late-night infomercials, but these knives are 100x more expensive and likely not any better. It's also silly to compare this to ceramic knives as it's actually pretty soft, softer even than cutlery steel;. Nowhere near the hardness of ceramic. But I guess that there are similarities in that they are both gimmicks. Lastly, just from the sake of the debate on sharpening ceramic blades, it doesn't seem all that difficult or expensive to create something at least as good as factory with just wet/dry automotive sandpaper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub76qYaaV2Q
