The Japanese Knife Company
"...Artisan Collection is currently the only commercially available range of knives that are completely hand made, using techniques developed over centuries by Samurai craftsmen. ... Two layers of soft Stainless Steel (SUS-405) are used to clad a central layer of 'High Speed Steel'' (SRS-15) a material rich in carbon and so hard that it is generally reserved only for the manufacture of precision tools, surgical equipment and dentist drills."
Zirconium Ceramic: "With appropriate care and use these revolutionary culinary implements can maintain their spectacularly keen edge for years without needing to be sharpened. The primary component is Zirconium, a material second in hardness only to diamond, that was originally developed to tile the exterior of the space shuttle"
