There are not many knife makers using ceramics to begin with.
Most notable are Boker(Germany) and Kyocera(Japan). They have been experimenting with ceramics fora while and some of the results are good.
Boker makes traditional folding knives and kitchen knives using ceramics, while Kyocera makes kitchen knives and peelers using ceramics.
One could say those two are the leaders today.
While ceramics does offer greater wear resistance and better edge holding compared to steel on soft materials, it is excessively chipping prone even at home kitchen, and in the end it dulls considerably faster than its theoretical properties suggest, primarily from chipping.
