Kyocera Ceraplaner Ceramic Blade Utility Scraper

Kyocera makes quite a few styles of ceramic kitchen knives, but did you know that they also make a handy utility scraper as well? Although primarily intended for kitchen use, the Ceraplaner looks like it could be used around the house and shop in as well.

The Ceraplaner cannot be used on glass, non-stick surfaces (e.g. Teflon), or delicate tile work. Amazon lists in the scraper’s product features that it can be used for the removal of paint, lacquer, mildew or rust, which makes me think it should be fine on most other flat non-delicate surfaces.

The blade is made from zirconia (zirconium oxide), a durable ceramic material, and the handle is plastic. Ceramic blades can NOT be sharpened without specialized equipment, so if it ever dulls, you’ll need to send it out for refinishing. On the plus side, ceramic blades often remain sharp for far longer than traditional steel blades.

    Sounds like a terrible idea. I have a ceramic chef knife. You have to be careful cutting things with hard pits, like peaches. The blade will get stuck in the pit and snap if you start wrenching on it. I can’t imagine how a scrapper is going to last.

    The main appeal of ceramic knives is how sharp they are and how thin they can slice foods up. And yes, pits, bones, frozen food, and other hard items are terrible for these types of knives.

    The main point of the scraper is to separate a thin layer of material from a seemingly harder and flatter surface. I would assume that Kyocera beefed up the thickness of the scraper in favor of greater rigidity over sharpness and thinness. If not, then you’re absolutely right about this being a terrible idea.

    Actually, we’ve used one for over a year until we did finally break it, and it was far and away the best we’ve ever had. We’re remodellers and used it for all sorts of things; outstanding for shaving wallboard very precisely as it’s extremely sharp and holds an edge. Outperforms any scraper for anything but hard smashing (because brittle, although heavy). I’m buying another one.
