Why Ceramic Knives Are Almost IMPOSSIBLE to Sharpen!

YouTube has unleashed the actor hidden inside all kinds of people. Some of them are purty entertaining, especially if you like obscure technical humor. A video made using a scanning electron microscope of what's going on at the edge of a ceramic knife when it is being sharpened would be pretty cool, but I have no idea how, or even if, it could be done. Bringing enough light/electrons to bear on the such a small area might melt the edge. Maybe that's what you need to sharpen a ceramic knife - a light saber.
