Zayka Knife Review & Fathers Day Giveaway




You might think that all knives are the same, but there are definitely some knives that offer advantages over the rest. I am not the best in the kitchen, but my husband is an executive chef so he knows what he's talking about when it comes to knives. We recently got to try out one of the amazing ceramic chef knives from Zayka Knife, and he thought it was one of the best knives he has even laid his hands on. With Father's Day on the way, a set of these fantastic knives would be a great gift for any man who enjoys spending time in the kitchen.




Zayka Knives are different because they are made from ceramic instead of metal. The first and most obvious advantage to this is that the life of your knife if extended. Because there is no metal, there will be no rust.  The knives are actually made from a advanced ceramic called zirconia, which is one of the hardest materials on earth, second only to diamonds. Because of this, the blade will require much less sharpening than the standard metal blade.  We used our knife to slice everything from meats to fruit and vegetables. It gives you a nice even cut and just glides through everything.





There are lots of other advantages to using a ceramic knife, but there is one that is going to be important to anyone who may have a vegan in their household. Because Zirconia is chemically-inert and incredibly dense, food particles (in this case meat) don’t embed themselves into the blade like they do with traditional stainless.This allows a household with both vegans and non-vegans to use the same set of knives without breaking the vegan rules. In addition to the ceramic knives, you can also find Damascus Cutlery, Folding Knives, spice mills, peelers, wine accessories and more. Check out Zayka today and upgrade your kitchen utilities.




In honor of Father's Day, one lucky winner is going to receive an Impulse Chef Knife to try out for themselves.
