M23210 , Stainless Steel, Black, 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge Bread Knife

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.

One of the best peeling knifes I’ve ever had, the handle is perfect for me and the curved blade is sharp and makes peeling potato’s very easy.

This knife is sharp enough to make you question every other blade in your kitchen. The first time I used it, I realised my old knives had basically been blunt butter spreaders in comparison. It slices through meat, veg, and bread with such clean precision that I actually enjoy meal prep now. Even chopping onions feels almost cinematic, like I’m starring in a cooking show. The handle is ergonomic and grippy, so even after long cooking sessions you don’t feel like your wrist is going to fall off. The balance is spot-on, making it easy to control whether you’re mincing garlic or tackling a stubborn squash. It feels professional, without needing to remortgage the house to own one. What I like most is the durability. After multiple uses and quick washes, the blade still looks brand new—no dulling, no chips, no drama. It’s the sort of knife that makes you want to cut more things just for fun. Honestly, if you don’t like cooking, this knife might change your mind.

I've only recently purchased this knife so I can't speak for its longevity/durability, but initial impressions at least are excellent, it really seems to punch above its weight at the price point. It is very well made and solid in the hand and the blade has minimal flex and is very strong. Its the perfect length for slicing anything from ciabatta up to full size loaves (you may need something smaller for small loaves, buns, etc). The rubber grip is extremely comfortable and 'soft grip', not squishy but just enough give compared to cheap hard plastic, its ever so slightly rubberized. It cuts well, The rounded tip is a bonus, since a point isn't required for cutting bread and it makes handling and storage safer. All in all this is extremely impressive for the price point. If it has one failing it is that it perhaps doesn't cut quite as well as some of the very best bread knives, it does cut well but doesn't quite have that "effortless" cutting that the very best knives do - however for the price this is being very picky, it really is very good.

I have purchased many bread knives over the years, always trying hard not to spend a fortune on any particular knife, sadly this has proved to be a false economy though, if I'd known what I know now, I would have just saved up and bought a far better knife the first time, hindsight can be a wonderful thing! What I can say about this purchase is that, thus far, I am very impressed! Yes, it's certainly not the cheapest, but saying that, it's also far from being too expensive. I have used it to cut very fresh, artisan bread and it has coped very well. Applying very little pressure and sawing away, sliced the bread evenly and as thinly as I wanted, without destroying the loaf! I like the extra length to the blade than all previous bread knives I've used. It feels well balanced too and obviously, nice and sharp. Even though this is strictly a bread knife, I actually tried it to carve a roasted joint of beef and it sliced that nice and thinly, an excellent result! Some other reviews have mentioned not liking the texture of the handle, but I don't have any issues with that at all. I pop mine in the dishwasher and it appears to be holding up well. I would say, considering the price paid for this bread knife, it is well worth buying, I am very impressed! Hopefully it will last, only time will tell, but certainly the best value bread knife I have ever bought and I've had quite a few!

Excellent knife. Very sharp and cuts through bread and vegetables with no effort whatsoever. Amazing value for money, looks great, not too heavy. Handle is comfortable with excellent grip. Long sharp blade so be careful while using! Really happy with purchase.

This is a really great knife. Bought it for my wife who uses it to chop chocolate from 11 lb bars. She loves it! Quality is good and we've had other Mercer products that hold up.

皮引き用に買ってみたら良かった。

A granton-edge knife is a granton-edge knife, right? That's what I thought when I bought my first one 4 years ago for $15. And it was a decent knife. It cut way better than what I was using before. But a few weeks ago, I saw a worker at a restaurant cutting brisket perfectly and VERY thin. I wasn't able to do that with my old knife. I looked closely at what he was using. It was granton-edge. It wasn't serrated. It was longer than my old one. I couldn't see any other difference. I just knew mine didn't work that nicely and never had. So I searched to try to find a better brisket knife. Prices are all over the board. Some incredibly expensive. I'm way too cheap for that. This one seemed a good balance. 3" longer than my old one. Not the cheapest, but reasonably priced. Excellent reviews, including several that mentioned brisket. And it was Father's Day, so I gave myself a gift. I smoked two briskets today, so I finally got to test it out. It cut BEAUTIFULLY! Part of the point was a little overcooked. My old knife would have shredded it. This cut right through it like butter. I was able to cut very thin slices. The longer length made it easier to cut. I spent more than twice as much on this knife as I did on my previous one. But it's worth every penny. I'm anxious to see how well it holds up over time.

Great slicer! Sharp! Durable! Excellent value for the money!

I was skeptic at first whether I would get a proper bread knife that professional culinary school and restaurants used for their daily prepping task. I had this light weighted Japanese stainless steel bread knife that came included in a knives set. Remember guys, any set of knives in a bundle are usually in poor quality. Anyway, the regular bread knife couldn't cut thin slices of bread without puncturing a hole in the middle or shredding off of corners of the crust from each slice of bread evenly.... So the finished product ended up with unevenly cut corner of the bread which makes it toasted unevenly in the oven. After an extensive researching on reviews from Amazon and on Youtube videos. I finally pull the trigger and order one to test out if it matches my expectation. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the knife as the grip of the handle was made of rubber which feels ergonomic to the touch. There's some heft to it too. As I slice my first piece of bread, it glides in gently like cutting through butter with minimum effort and force. It didn't crush the loaf of bread as I press the blade on top of it during the cutting process. It had few little crumbs too! It cuts the corner of the bread without shredding or crushing it as I cut into thin slices. The cheap regular one does the job just fine but it couldn't cut the bread to thin slices without shredding it but no problem with thicker slices... With the nice proper bread knife, I feel I'm in complete control of cutting the size I want without the fear of jeopardising the final product. Overall satisfaction is 10/10. Hopefully, it will stay sharp in the years to come...
