The latest company going pink to help fight breast cancer is Kyocera Advanced Ceramics. Known for their light-weight, balanced ceramic knives, Kyocera has created a Special Edition 5.5" Santoku Ceramic Knife to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. For each of the ergonomically designed, pink-handled knives sold, Kyocera will donate $5.00 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. So far, the company has donated over $90,000.

Available at Williams Sonoma and other specialty kitchen retailers for about $70, the knife is perfect for cutting fruits, vegetables and boneless meats. The ceramic blade will never rust or alter the flavor of foods and the pink handle is just plain cute.

Slice, dice and chop for the cure! That's a sizable donation they've made so far. And you can't go wrong with a Kyocera ceramic.

At the Whole Foods earlier today I notices a pink carryall grocery bag and commented to my friend that this sort of merchandising was getting out of hand, over the top, profiteering. Now I see a knife, a pink knife for cancer--that's really too much. I don't mind the support of a great cause, but the companies are profiteering by their "support". It's a shame and I think almost a sham.
