## Description

This collection calls on the rich tradition of Japanese craftsmanship to provide unsurpassed performance.

Review: Perfect Chinese Chef knife. Cuts so smooth. - I wanted to try this Chinese style knife just to see how to compared to a French chef knife. I was blown away by how sharp this thing is. It sliced through a lemon like a hot knife through butter. I like how high it is so it makes guiding chops with my hand easier. Overall I really like the balance of the knife. It's very easy to use and the grip feels good. I also like that you can use it to scoop food a lot easier than a French knife. I will be using this as my primary cutting knife.
Review: Perfect for chopping tasks, handles well, shaving sharp out of the box, great price for the quality. - Absolutely love this knife. Came out of the box shaving sharp, which was surprising. My third Mercer knife, and none of them were this sharp out of the box. I ordered this because I don't really enjoy chopping too much. This makes it way easier to chop and scoop. I'm already using more fresh veggies over the pre-chopped packages. It's a large blade, so very easy for larger cutting tasks. I am not the biggest fan of round handles, but the blade makes up for any issues with the grip (which isn't bad, just not my preference). Looks very cool on my knife rack. The balance is solid, considering the handle is pretty small. Have not had any issues with hand fatigue. The blade, so far, does a lot of the work for you. Highly recommend trying this knife out.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the best budget stones to keep this knife sharp**
A: I don't know what stones to use, because I use a high-end Chef's Choice electric knife sharpener that is set to Asian bevel angles (15 deg) and allows for single side sharpening that is required for this knife. Sharpness is about as good as stones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018RSEMU/

**Q: What is the difference between the mercer m24010pl model and the mercer m24010 model?**
A: The M24010 has a wood handle. The M24010PL has a slip-resistant Santoprene handle.

**Q: Which side of the knife do I sharpen?**
A: Its a single bevel. Do not use common knife sharpeners where you pull a blade through opposing carbide disks, or any motorized sharpeners. It needs to be sharpened by hand on a set of stones. You first work the bevel side, then do a few passes on the flat side to remove the burr and complete the edge.

**Q: Has anyone ever used this in the preparation of sushi? If so, how did it perform? Thank You!!**
A: I have found it to be quite good for this purpose. I also own two much more expensive, hand forged knives that have more romantic/ sanctimonious value. They are good ( they had to be handmade because I am left handed). Those ones I value for their artistic, rather than practical value. If you can get aside the the rare handmade in Japan thing, this knife is the only one I actually use and works great. The other ones are very prone to pitting, oxidation, and so forth. Unless you are a sushi master in Japan ( which by asking this a question you are not) the Mercer is not only acceptable, but preferred.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the best thin vegetable cleaver i've tried
*by B***G on March 11, 2017*

i don't normally write reviews but i am so impressed with this knife i had to write it. i've always wanted a chinese chef's knife due to its versatility and practicality. when i did my initial research my top choice was the dexter chinese cleaver, which was very popular. in the end, i opted to try the mercer primarily because of the rubber handle. i was very happy with the knife. over time i got more interested in knives, german vs japanese steel, and i decided to "upgrade" to the ZHEN VG-10 Damascus Cleaver . the steel was noticeably sharper when you touch it, and the damascus pattern was beautiful. however, when it came time to actually cut, the mercer was actually better. the secret here is that the mercer has a convex grind, while the zhen was a more conventional V-grind. this meant that vegetables did not stick to the blade nearly as much. with the mercer, i can half a cucumber, and slice into thin slices by draw cutting through the cucumber. i could not with the zhen -- the cucumber would stick to the other side of the blade. next up, i tried the Wusthof Chinese Cleaver . i disliked it immediately -- it was very heavy. in fairness, heavy is in the title, but i didn't expect it to make that big of a difference. the fit and finish also wasn't as good; the spine was not smooth, and neither was heel...which meant holding the knife properly by choking up to the heel was uncomfortable. the mercer's spine and heel of the blade are smoothed. and speaking of weight, this is when i realized that the mercer is 8.8 ounces, which is super light. it's also only 2mm thick at the spine. still wanting to find "the best" knife, i tried the other german brand, Zwilling . this one was slightly heavier than the mercer, slightly thicker, but the balance was off. i prefer the 7 inch size of the zwilling more, but the size of the handle relative to the blade was awkward and made for weird balance. if you're holding a chinese chef's knife properly, you're pinching the blade, so in the zwilling half of the handle is sticking out the back of my hand. and this was when i realized that i really, really like the non-slip rubber handle of the mercer. next up, was the Messermeister Asian Precision Chinese Knife, 8-Inch . i don't know why i didn't try this one first before the others, since this is the knife that celebrity chef Martin Yan uses. it was the only knife that was competitive vs the mercer. it is a little bit heavier, which makes certain cutting tasks easier as the weight of the knife helps, but not so overwhelming like the wusthof. it's thicker at the spine, but it actually gets even thinner than the mercer (which you can see in the picture, is already very thin). it's full-tang, 3 rivet, with a nice "ping" when you tap on the blade vs a "thud" of the mercer, so it definitely feels like quality in your hand if you're into that kind of thing. i still liked the rubber handle of the mercer more, so i eventually ended up wrapping the messermeister handle with rubber splicing tape. 5 chinese chef's knives later, the mercer and messermeister are my favorites. for the mercer, the only downsides i can think of are not really downsides at all, but personal preference. the tip is a bit more rounded than the others, not a 90 degree angle. this makes rocking and draw-cuts easier because it doesn't dig into the cutting board as much, at the expense sacrificing ease of delicate tip work. it's also 8 inches instead of 7, but i've gotten used to it. if you're looking for a thin and light vegetable cleaver, this is incredible value at this price point.
