Foldable Ceramic Fruit Knife – Japanese Paring Knife for Travel
Japanese Style Foldable Ceramic Fruit Knife
Meet your new go-to kitchen companion — this compact, foldable ceramic paring knife blends Japanese-inspired design with everyday practicality. Whether you're prepping fruit at home, packing a picnic, or travelling light, this knife tucks safely into its sleeve and slips right into your bag.
Ultra-Hard Zirconium Oxide Blade
The blade is crafted from high-density zirconium oxide ceramic, ground to a precise 11–13° double-bevel edge and fired at temperatures above 2,700 °F. The result? A razor-sharp edge that holds its sharpness far longer than conventional steel blades — so you spend less time sharpening and more time cooking.
- Anti-bacterial & non-corrosive — zirconium oxide is naturally resistant to bacteria and won't react with food
- Odour & taste neutral — preserves the original colour, freshness, and nutrition of your ingredients
- No eye irritation — the ceramic surface does not release the compounds that cause irritation when cutting foods like onions
- Eco-friendly & non-toxic — FCM certified, safe for preparing baby food and everyday family meals
- Lightweight ergonomic handle — rubber-grip PP handle (8 cm) balances the 7 cm blade for comfortable, controlled cutting
- Foldable & portable — folds flat to just 183 × 30 mm; includes a protective knife sleeve for safe storage and travel
- Available in Blue, Pink, and Card colour options

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this ceramic fruit knife safe for everyday kitchen use?
A: Absolutely. The zirconium oxide ceramic blade is non-toxic, anti-bacterial, and FCM certified — making it safe for preparing fruit, vegetables, fish, and even baby food. The blunted tip and heel add an extra layer of safety during handling.
Q: Can I put the foldable ceramic knife in the dishwasher?
A: No. To protect the ceramic blade and maintain its edge, hand-washing with a mild detergent after each use is strongly recommended. Dishwasher cycles can damage or chip the blade over time.
Q: What makes a ceramic blade better than a steel blade for fruit and vegetables?
A: Ceramic blades made from zirconium oxide are extremely hard, hold their sharp edge much longer than steel, and do not react with food. This means your produce retains its natural colour, taste, and nutrition — and you won't experience the eye irritation that metal blades can cause when cutting foods like onions.
Q: Is this knife suitable for travel and outdoor use?
A: Yes! The foldable design folds the blade safely into the handle, and the included knife sleeve provides additional protection. The compact 183 × 30 mm folded size fits easily in a bag, lunch box, or travel kit.
