This is an excellent quality knife. The blade is very sharp and firm. It is well made and beautiful. It doesn't need to be sharpened often and the price is amazing! This is an excellent choice for any restaurant.
I have owned this knife for over 7 years now and it is still going strong! I love the way this knife feels in my hand. The 9 inch blade makes it perfect for a wide rang of tasks from breaking down meat to chopping vegetables.

This is a fully hot drop forged knife with a traditional full bolster. It's made from good German steel, the handle is comfortable and has an excellent non-slip grip. The blade has a nice distal taper, giving it a nimble feel in the hand, and comes very sharp out of the box. This knife has a classic style webbed bolster, but it's also available with a more modern style webless bolster, which makes sharpening easier (item #470M21079).

This knife is not only super sharp out of the box, but it is very well balanced and feels light in your hand to help create perfect cuts.
This is the knife that came with my culinary school kit. I was surprised at the quality coming in a kit, but I have purchased several other Mercer products and am very pleased.
It is a great first knife to have, it is very sturdy. Stays sharp for a while if you take good care of your knife.
