If you get hold of the Framar Shooting World knife catalogue, there used tro
a a 'CIA letter opener' - essentially a boot knife made from soem sort of
plastic. It was advertised as being light enough to store up a tie without
being obvious, and very sharp (probably not for long, but then you wouldn't
whittle sticks with it). IIRC it was about ú6.95.
I have a couple of ceramic knives - Japanese chefs prize them as they stay
sharp for ages and odours 'cling' to them much less than to steel blades. As
Neil says, they are incredibly sharp, but don't use one to lever the lid off
a paint-pot! Ceramic have been used in the textile industry for years to cut
fibres, as they are much more wear resistant than metal.
