M23210 Millennia Black Handle, 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge, Bread Knife

I absolutely love this knife. I bought it because I was using the bread knife that come from the kitchen utensil set and they are terrible when it comes to cutting a good slice of sourdough bread. It's light, cuts through bread with ease; and has a blunted tip for safety and easy to use and clean with a quick rinse and wipe. It has a nice grip for the handle and a very nice sharp blade for ideal slice of bread. It's a great quality bread knife for a great price.

Really good knife for the price. I bought this expecting “decent for the money” and got “why is this cutting better than some of my fancy knives?” The wavy edge goes through crusty bread without crushing the inside into a sad pile of crumbs. Bagels, sourdough, soft sandwich bread—it doesn’t care. It just slices clean and moves on with its day. The handle is comfortable, grippy, and doesn’t feel like it’s going to launch itself across the kitchen mid-cut. It’s lightweight but solid, which is a nice balance when you’re doing a lot of slicing. No, it won’t impress your guests with a dramatic forged-in-a-mountain-of-fire story. But it will quietly and efficiently do its job every single time. For the price, this knife is an absolute workhorse.

Great knife and VERY SHARP! The knife was very difficult to remove from packaging and I got sliced in the process. BE CAREFUL! It cuts bread very well with minimal effort. Highly recommended.

I've been a home cook for more than 30 years. I've got a few dozen kitchen knives of all sizes, profiles, and makes. (Wusthof, MAC, Global, Miyabi, Shun, etc......) I received this Mercer Culinary kitchen knife as a gift about a year ago, and for just about every cutting, chopping, slicing task on a cutting board, this is the knife I most often grab. Comfortable grip, easy to use, very easy to keep a razor sharp edge, and if it gets damaged in any way, very inexpensive to replace. Excellent line of knives at the right price !!

It will cut through a fresh crisp loaf of Sourdough better than any knife I own. Highly recommend this knife for slicing crusty bread ! Update: after a month or so of constant use the blade is showing a metal reaction. Not exactly rust but discoloration that I can’t seem to remove with any kitchen scrubbing or rubbing type item. Nor does it go away when in dishwasher. Disappointing. Still cuts well.

Really well built bread knife. Great balanced weight with the handle and blade length. Really nice grip on the handle as well. Great value and the blade is plenty sharp . Price is a clear winner as well! Well done!

I love the quality of Mercer knives. So far, it's at a reasonable price. The restaurant I used to work for uses Mercer knives; some Chefs and Cooks would still bring their own arsenal, but it doesn't matter if you have the most beautiful or the most expensive set of knives, if you don't know how to take care of the knives, it will be the dullest knife or you will totally messed up your knives and it will be unusable. For this knife I purchased, I am pleased with the quality and how sharp it is to this day. It is easy to use, lightweight, and the handle is good. Blade size is also good, and it came with a clear plastic sheath.

This does so much more than slice bread. I find it to be superior to most slicers and carving knives (and even electric knives) when slicing a roast, smoked brisket, turkey breast, etc. It's good for slicing large tomatoes. After my chef's knife this is the one I use the most. I've had it for five years and it still hasn't dulled. But when it does get dull, no big deal. A new one is inexpensive.
