bookmarked purchase — a knife with a ceramic utility blade, to use for cooking

I already have one of these knives, it's excellent. But I often use it for non-food uses, and don't clean it afterwards.

I could purchase a second one of these, and reserve it for food only.

• the knife — Either an OKNIFE Otacle U1, or an OKNIFE U1 Ultra. I feel like the 'Ultra' version has a little more sanitary handle, as compared to the Otacle U1's handles that are either Micarta or G-10.
  • On the other hand, Micarta and G-10 are probably fine because normal chef's knives sometimes have handles made of both these materials.
  • While both materials are FDA-approved for food contact, G10's non-porous surface makes it particularly suitable for high-volume professional kitchens where bacterial resistance is crucial. Micarta's slight porosity means it requires more thorough drying between uses, especially in humid environments."
• the blades — Ceramic utility blades
• methods to keep the knife cleaner — Maybe use food-grade lubricants to try to keep food particles out of certain nooks and crannies.
