Should I buy steel or ceramic knives?
Ceramic knives:


cut
get through metal detectors at night clubs


Steel knives:


cut
smash (garlic, ginger...)
pry (potato eyes)
look good
scare burglars
stick to metallic thingies on the wall
don't scratch glass cutting boards (anyone cringing?)
don't snap when thrown dropped.
have zen-like qualities, sharpening them is pure meditation.
have good mass, more control IMO.
have rivets as a handy measurement reference for consistent length cuts
have a spine you can hammer to get through that bone (now who's cringing?)
