## Description

An exceptional combination of quality, design, materials and craftsmanship for the value minded kitchen.

Review: High quality for restaurant everyday use!! - I bought this knife back in 2023 when I started my restaurant and I would have to say this is the best knife I’ve ever owned!! I’ve kept up with the maintenance with a sharpening stone, cut tons of meat and vegetables with it. The Japanese steel is durable and sharpened at 15 degrees. Comfortable grip and size for multipurpose. Best quality for a good price!
Review: Pro Kitchens Depend On These - Like the shape and grip of the handle. The steel is good enough to take a sharp edge and a reasonable commercial kitchen beating. You can get a better handle and better steel. But in a commercial setting, any knife will take a lot of hard use. This one is made to take that abuse without draining the tool budget. Pro kitchens need sharp chef’s tools that can do all the chef tool jobs. They need to pay as little as possible for them. Mercer Culinary understands this need and produces several lines of low-cost cutlery to meet slightly different needs, the primary one being kitchen tools as a wear item that can perform at chef level without blowing too much overhead on them. These are easy to sharpen and don’t chip easily. The handles are certified for chlorinated sanitizer sinks. Lots of companies make a tool like this but Mercer outsells them all. You might not want one for your home kitchen where a little nicer tools make sense, but for your restaurant they’re a great compromise between cost, quality, and utility. You can get better everything but for 14 bucks probably not. My kitchen knife is a Shun with a VG-10 core and mild steel “Damascus” cladding. It has a stainless handle and could work well in a pro setting but VG-10 is notorious for chipping when you’re working on bones. I have a German cleaver for that stuff and the Shun for everything else. My favorite part of the VG-10 blade is the laser sharp edge it holds. But it might be a bit fragile under commercial use. If a $14 knife chips under hard use it’s no great loss. Everything about this knife maximizes commercial effectiveness per dollar spent. If that is your priority, this is a pretty good candidate to be your knife. Your kitchen might buy these by the gross.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the mercer culinary ultimate white 11-inch slicer, wavy edge be sharpened?**
A: it has been my experience that having a serrated edge knife costs more to have it sharpened than replacing it.  Especially this one, as it is a rather lower end cost one.  I wanted to sharpen my own a while back and company quoted me like $25 to do it.  It's a very labor intensive process with having to sharpen each itty bitty groove.  that's why I have a new one now :)   HTH

**Q: How is this different from the Genesis series blade?**
A: These are bare bones blades meant to get beat up doing rugged tasks like boning and quartering animal carcasses. When you need a knife that you can rely on working on a line this is the type you want to grab. When you're looking for fine cuts and sophistication you'll want a higher quality blade like the genesis. If you notice, the taper on these commercial blades is a bit sharper; they do this to save money because they don't have to feather all the way back to the spine. It makes the blade look cheap but that's part of what ultimately makes these knives invaluable in commercial kitchens.

**Q: Is it made in China?**
A: So china right

**Q: Would this cut a coconut?**
A: The 3" paring knife, not in my opinion. Though I like the paring knife and use it often, I had difficulty cutting raw cabbage with it. It's not sturdy enough for cutting a head of cabbage. It's sharp enough, but not sturdy enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My First Real Knife Experience
*by R***L on September 2, 2024*

There are people out there with lots of disposable income which results in exposure to lots of things that most of us might never see, do or learn and so, a knife like this one might seem like a trifle to them. For the rest of you, those who, like myself, have lived with stainless steel kitchen sets from the likes of Walmart, Target and Ross for their entire lives. This review is for you. This knife is SCARY SHARP right out of the package. When I first held it in my hands and felt it's balance and gazed upon its highly reflective, high carbon steel surface, I immediately knew that I was on another level. I've been using it daily for several weeks now and, at first, I only noticed subtle differences between it and my old stainless cheap knives, then I realized that I was handling it improperly. I was using it in the same manner as the flawed knives that I had grown accustomed to. I attempted to immitate the actions of chefs and cooks that I had seen on TV and the internet and this knife began to shine. To be sure, I am no chef and I definitely MUST learn proper cutting and chopping technique to get the most out of this knife but the user experience is BEAUTIFUL! I don't feel 100% confident in the hard plastic handle. I worry that if my hands are too wet or maybe oily, there might be a slip, leading to an unfortunate encounter with its unforgiving blade but, the handle isn't bad. It's just chunky enough that I never lose track of it while my hands are in motion and it has raised textured areas for the thumb and forefinger which works really well to help keep the handle stable while in use. Also, and this could be a pro or a con, as I understand it, due to the fact that the blade is high carbon steel and not stainless, you can't let it air dry in the dish rack. It has to be cleaned and dried immediately after every use. As a guy who is used to maintaining and caring for various types of equipment and gear, this is not a problem for me. I appreciate the performance of the knife so much that I WANT to take care of it that way. This knife is obviously not the best chef's knife that money can buy but, for the PRICE, I think it's beautifully made, its frighteningly sharp and for the most part, a joy to use, if you can get beyond the new and unfamiliar fear of cutting yourself (YES. It's that much different from what you find in cheap kitchen sets). It has changed my kitchen experience! I LOVE it and I don't think you'll regret it! By the way, I got this size because my very petite wife has very small hands and she did not want a heavy knife. I will definitely be purchasing it's bigger brother for myself in the near future.
