Precision forged German steel. High carbon, no-stain German cutlery steel resists rust, corrosion, and discoloration. One-piece precision forged construction and a rounded spine gives every Renaissance knife superior strength and durability. Taper-ground edge allows for added stability, easy honing, long lasting sharpness, and increased efficiency when cutting and chopping. Ergonomic Delrin handles. Triple-riveted ergonomic Delrin handle provides superior comfort. Delrin will not break down from exposure to kitchen oils and is able to withstand hot and cold temperatures. A shorter bolster exposes the full edge of the blade, making it easier to sharpen. The bolster strengthens the knife, adds durability, and provides excellent balance when cutting food. NSF certified. NSF is a global provider of public health and safety-based risk management solutions. It's a highly respected independent organization that has rigorously tested and certified that Mercer Genesis knives have met their standard for safety, quality, and performance. Care and handling of Renaissance cutlery. The performance of a knife can be diminished if not cared for properly. Cutlery should never be washed in a dishwasher because intense heat and harsh detergents may cause the handle to deteriorate. Carefully wash by hand with soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft towel. Do not soak or submerge in water for long periods of time or use chlorine bleach because it can pit and discolor the blade. Avoid soaking in aluminum or stainless steel sinks because these metals may cause pitting on the blade. Store in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent injuries.

Does it say on the package? I've heard they are made in Asia somewhere......** A: they are not made in germany only the steel use in the knife its self is, it is assembled in Taiwan ( i just checked the side of the blade) they are great knifes i first got hooked on them from culinary school seeing all of our knifes in out kit were mercer and ive bought many more since. i also work in a kitchen so it is great having a sharp quality knife on hand, not to expansive just incase something may happen. with proper care mercer renaissance far surpases my wusthof knife set **Q: Finish quality? I've read on-line that these aren't quite as finished overall as the more expensive German brands, specifically the spine is sharp.** A: I have German made knives, using the best German steel and this 3.5" version is the equal of any of them... No sharp spine, beautifully ground and finished, sharp from the packaging, handles very well, etc... Yes, made in Taiwan of exceptionally good German steel, and I will continue to buy these for now on. **Q: how thick is the blade and how much does it weighs,please?** A: The weight is 9.1 ounces so a bit over half a pound. The thickness of the blade is just a hair over 3/32” at its thickest point. Hope that helps! Love this knife by the way! You won’t be disappointed! **Q: Is the knife blade very thick like typical German chef knife where you feel like it is wedging the food as it cuts instead of slicing through it?** A: It is a great knife. It slices but you need to hone your knife with a steel every so often.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good knife and great value. *by J***C on 8 September 2020* Great knife. sharp well made and has a good balance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good deal *by H***F on 19 March 2020* Meet expectations ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Chefs Knife at a Great Price! *by D***H on 5 July 2025* I ordered this to replace an old Mundial full bolster western-style chef's knife which served me well for 20 years. Back then I paid around $50. So to see another quality, fully forged, German stainless steel knife for under $100, about half of a Wusthof or Zwilling of similar quality and features. Its worth every cent, and a good alternative to the similar but high-priced German equivalents. The Delrin handle is comfortable, water and bacteria resistant, the knife is kitchen certified, and is used extensively in culinary arts programs. A US company, German steel, and made in Taiwan. An equation that in this case, works splendidly. This is a very good alternative to the pricier knives, while retaining the best features of a western-style chef knife. Sharp out of the box, a nicely polished spine, and the bolster is not a full one, offering better comfort and control. Even the choil is not overly sharp on the grip, and the rivets and full-tang complete the package. A nice knife to use, and easy on the eyes too in its simplicity and smart design. This is German fully forged steel, full tang, semi bolster and true western profile for everything from rock-chopping to slicking to crushing garlic. Its a workhorse, and at this price, a no-brainer if you want western style, German steel knives for much less than some other, more well-established brands. You wont see these in stores, as the company prioritizes supplying culinary schools and restaurants/food service industry. That alone speaks for the quality and confidence in this US brand. If you want to stock up on industry-approved knives, this is it. You can't go wrong. Now, you certainly can pay more, even hundreds more, for another brand from another country (they are great too - don't get me wrong), but why? You simply do not have to. Get this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mercer Culinary M23510 Renaissance, 8-Inch Chef's Knife - Mercer Culinary M23210 Millennia Black Handle, 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge, Bread Knife - Victorinox 6.7603 3.25 Inch Swiss Classic Paring Knife with Straight Edge, Spear Point, Black, 3.25", 3.25" Paring --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/254410063-mercer-culinary-renaissance-8-inch-black-m23510](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/254410063-mercer-culinary-renaissance-8-inch-black-m23510) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
