Is a ceramic knife worth the extra cost?

There are few companies that make ceramic knives, and they're more expensive that most standard steel ones. Are they worth the money over a Wusthof of other high-end knife? I know sushi chefs swear by them.

I went online to http://www.askachef.com to find this:

Fred from Hazlwet asked:
"I an thinking of buying a ceramic Knife for my kitchen. I have had mixed reviews of Ceramic Knives and Stainless Steel knives. What do you recommend? Thank you Fred NJ USA."

Chef Halstead answered:

"Fred,

Ceramic knifes hold their edge well but are difficult to sharpen as they cannot be sharpened with a normal steel. They are no use for chopping bones either!
Most of the knives I have tried have been very comfortable to use unlike Global steel knives, which I really don’t like.
My own preference is for steel knives, some of mine are nearly 30 years old and still in good order.
If you really want one, only by a small paring knife and use it for cutting not chopping.
Invest in some good steel knives with the right weight for you. Handle them before you buy to get an idea how the feel in your hand. Look for ergonomically designed handles. Function over style for me everytime!!!

So, in other words it depends on what youve heard and feel like spending on a knife. It just depends on what youll be doin with youre knife. If youll be dropping it then, go with a stainless steel, if your cutting bones, stainless steel. If you know how to use your knife properly, you should never have to sharpen it, if you do get a ceramic one.
I had one and it was the best knife that I ever owned until I let someone else into my kitchen
