That's what I'm kind of afraid of if I buy a ceramic knife! One small
slip and I could lose a digit!

Almost ordered a 3" ceramic paring knife last night, actually. But
stopped before I completed the online transaction. It only came to a
little over $30 with shipping, but I just dunno. Maybe a 4.5" would be
better, but a lot more expensive too.
