  • Mercer 8” Chefs knife: Incredible Value!
Size: 8" Color: Chef's Knife
Once in awhile you find a product that punches way above its weight class. The Mercer 8” chefs knife is an excellent example. I’ve had it for over two years, use it daily and it is an absolute pleasure. Cuts fast, comfortable grip, keeps an edge with minimal effort. I hand wash only, never in dishwasher, but it wipes clean with a soapy sponge in 10 seconds. Feels solid and secure in the hand (L/XL glove size), and the knife is well balanced. This may be the best $50 I have ever spent. Quality materials, solid build, easy to use, excellent fit and finish, comfortable to grip, subtle yet sophisticated; refined. You really have to use it to fully appreciate the engineering behind this product. It’s an experience. Totally next level. I absolutely love it, and at this price point is an INCREDIBLE value. ... show more

  • Great all around!
Size: 8" Color: Chef's Knife
What a great knife. So I decided on the Mercer after having bought a more expensive highly reviewed knife from another company and having it arrive warped. And man am i happy! I have owned the 6” petty of their Genesis line, has the same blade steel, and honestly I have put that knife in the dishwasher religiously every night for a few years now, it has ZERO rust. This 8” is all around everything I was looking for in a daily workhorse. Its balanced, not too thick and heavy but also not flimsy and too light. Its contured in the handle with no red flags or unfomfortable feels that stand out to me when i dice. I havent sharpened this model yet but i have the genesis line which is the same blade and steel, its the same steel as most german companies use. It sharpens amazing! Unlike some other higher end brands that spend alot on marketing and chef reviews and testimonials on social media, but yet are made in china and provide no phone number of where to actually reach them in the usa, Mercer is in New York and you can actually contact them. Very happy with this product! I would confidently stack it up against any high end german knife. ... show more

  • Great knife at a good price.
Size: 8" Color: Chef's Knife
Just recived this today and got to try it out. Bought it to start replacing worn out knives in an old Farberware set. This 8" chefs knife was reviewed on youtube as being comparable to a $120 German knife. Being I formerly cooked professionally and wanted a great knife on a budget I decided to give it a try. Out of the package it seems quite sharp to me. The knife feels like it has good weight and is balanced like a higher end knife would be. I decided to wash it and chop up a salad for dinner. It did well gliding through all the vegies and especially tomatoes. It cut into the tomatoes with great ease, not smashing them at all. The only negitive is the blade has a taller profile and does not fit in the space in the block that came with my old set in any place of the old knife block but the cleaver's spot. You can see in the second photo where I have the tired old Farberware chef's knife next to the Mercer how much more substantial it is overall. So now I kinda need a better knife block to store this and the other new knives I plan to buy. Some will be Mercer for sure. 8/6/20 I am still using the knife and several other Mercer knives. They still are very sharp and to maintain that I had to purchase a sharpener that can do a 15° edge as that is what is put on at the factory. This is pretty much typical for Asian knives. I found it here on Amazon. I actually got one that can do 20° for most American and European knives and 15° as well. My advice is use these with a wood or Polly cutting board. Hard wash them as the dishwasher can dull or Nick knives. Sharpen when you can't cut tomatoes well with a good sharpener. ... show more

  • What a great value
Size: 8" Color: Chef's Knife
Though only had this knife in our home for a few days, so far it's really impressive. The construction quality looks excellent, It's balanced, comfortable, workmanlike, and has a nice blade profile. It's also sharp as a razor, further use will reveal if the edge is durable. For a knife this good at this price, it's hard to justify spending more. ... show more
