That's what I've heard.  I almost got one a number of years ago but 
was worried about the reports of brittleness.  It would chip if used 
on something too hard and shatter if dropped.

I just looked at Kyocera's website and the prices have come way 
down.  Of course they now have a new line of Damascus (pattern-weld) 
looking blades that's double fired and more durable.

They say specifically that's it's for fruits, veggies and boneless meats.
