Edward focused his project on sharp edges and designed a vegetable peeler and a cheese slicer made entirely from zirconia, a type of ceramic. Ceramic is lighter than steel, potentially harder, chemically inert and does not corrode. Existing products, of which there are not many, use ceramic only for the blades, handles being made from plastic or metal. Edward aimed to design a product which would be cheap to manufacture, very strong, aesthetically attractive, tactile and highly functional and ergonomic. His designs include sections that can be sacrificed in the process, specifically to hold the fine blade edges in place during firing. This enables the pieces to be fired upside down, which minimises warping and keeps the blades straight. These sections are removed in the sharpening process, using progressively finer grinding media on a wheel. These products have an inherent sustainability due to the qualities of the ceramic and their design - their market position, design led, higher end luxury branded goods, dictates that they are not disposable products. The pieces are also only fired once, saving fuel costs and adding environmental credibility. Edward plans to continue work on his products, adding a grater to the group, and branding and packaging them before taking them to trade fairs.
