Ceramic knives were first made in 1985.
If you are using high carbon very hard steel then a ceramic hone will have limited effect so you may need to use a leather strop fine wet stone or even steel to hone that edge.
Silicon carbide is more than four times harder than stainless steel.
Ceramic knives are substantially harder than steel knives will not corrode in harsh environments are non magnetic and do not conduct electricity at room temperature.

Lighter and harder than steel absolutely scratch resistant and with a mirror like surface that feels pleasingly soft.
Hard and tough are two different things.
Net shape ceramic manufacturing however can lower the cost by almost 50 for many applications by eliminating or reducing the cost of hard machining using diamond tooling.
Hardness is a measure of resistance to.
