Mercer Culinary M23903 Millennia 3-Inch Slim Paring Knives (3-Pack), Black

This offset bread knife makes bread slicing so easy

Feels good in the hand. Cuts well.

great knife, well balanced, no sheath

Arrived nice and sharp, in a secure packet. Was able to peel an apple easily with a very thin peel. Cut through the stalk without much extra pressure, no concerns about a jump. One for larger hands in my estimation, and balanced well to the back. The handle will be keeping the fingers in the holding hand well clear of the blade.

I bought this knife to use with a bamboo wood foldable bread slicer. I didn't realise how hard it would be to find a knife long enough to be able to use with it. My previous bread knife, a pretty much standard length of 7 to 8 inches was about an inch too short to allow it to go through both rails on the bamboo bread slicer. The blade length of this Mercer is roughly 12 inches long . The blade is the perfect length needed to use with the bread slicer.. It cuts perfectly without squashing the bread. I can easily use the knife without the slicer as its so sharp and cuts perfectly straight even when cutting thin slices. I have only used it on bread as that's what I bought it for but I'm sure it would be perfect for carving meat etc if needed. The blade is really nice and thick too, it just feels excellent quality and I'm so happy that I bought it. I paid less than £18 and think this is fantastic value for such an excellent knife. Highly recommended.
