Mercer knives are my favorite but this one in particular is just exceptional. I have never used a better bread knife. It actually cuts without having to saw at the bread or flatten it.

We use these to cut our Pav ( bread ) for our food truck they are nice and long knives so you only need to make the cut one time and it will go through both of our breads at once.

Mercer makes a good knife, and this one is no exception. It has a nice heft to it, and the full tang means it will last a lot longer than other knives.

I was fed up with my bread knife when I came across this knife. I have so many good things about the Mercer brand bought I couldn't believe it until I saw it for myself. This knife cuts through bread effortless without sawing.. my cut bread no longer is in pieces but rather in one nicely cut piece.

This bread knife is awesome! It cuts through bread with ease and not a lot of force like other knives. It has become my favorite and only bread knife I use now.

We cut and toast bagels a lot. I've tried a number of different knives and this is by far my favorite bagel cutting knife yet! It cuts smoothly and accurately and is a great length for our use.

Gotta say, I have never had such a sharp, perfect bread knife. I gotta say, these are my favorite knives. I purchased these for our church kitchen because of the price and the reviews, and then purchased a few for my home. I have other brands at home, and I consistently reach for the Mercers over any of these others. They hold their edge, are extremely sharp, and well balanced. I simply make sure that I use my hone on them before each use. Can't beat these knives for the price!!

This knife is fantastic. You truly can cut through a loaf of bread without squishing it or it tearing all apart. It cuts smooth as butter. I also use this knife to cut cheese for parties. It is so easy to get through and will not harm the knife. Absolutely love it.

This mercer bread knife is so cheap and great to have in the chef's tool box. We do a lot of crostini's at my hotel in banquet, so it gets old using the companies knives to slice 10 baguettes at a time. This knife glides through the product and is worth every penny!

This knife was suggested to me in place of a Merckens Knife and I decided to try it. I am very pleased with it. I have tried both now and like both the same. Thanks for the savings.
