Pro tip: I switched from a full steel chef's knife to a ceramic one for my prep work at the diner

After three months of dulling my steel knife on the line every week, I picked up a ceramic blade for $25 at a restaurant supply store and it stayed sharp through 200 prep shifts without a single hone, but then I dropped it on a tile floor and it shattered into seven pieces - has anyone else found ceramic too fragile for the real kitchen grind?

Well now, was the $25 savings worth the mess it made when it broke?

Right? My cheap chair lasted six months before the armrest just... detached. Spent the next hour finding little foam bits all over the carpet. Guess I paid extra for the floor decorations.
