I am a huge fan of the Mercer Genesis 8" forged chef knife with the granton edge and short bolster. I've owned this knife for over 4 1/2 years, and it has proven to be the knife I reach for most often. It's well balanced with a comfortable handle, stays incredibly sharp, and the short bolster makes it easy to sharpen, hone, and keep sharp over time. I have more expensive Wusthoff and Zwilling knives, but this one has become my favorite. Highly recommended.

Favorite knife int the kitchen. I use this knife for everything. This is my favorite knife with the Granton Edge and it is a game-changer. Highly recommended.
We got this knife to replace a cheap chef knife that had broken. The metal isn't as thick as higher priced knives, but for normal prep work, it'll be fine and it holds an edge well.
Amazingly sharp right out of the box. Never had a problem with rust of getting dull. Sharpens very well and will buy thru anything. Highly recommended
You are getting a lot more than you would pay for by purchasing this knife. Not only is it reliable, it makes prep work easier and less time-consuming. It would make a great addition in any commercial kitchen.
This knife is super sharp and cuts through veggies and fruit so easily! The grip is comfortable and the blade is obviously very high quality steel.
Very good knife and excellent price. The knife feels substantial when holding it and works well. I have to emphasize that it was a great price.
This has to be one of the best knives that I have ever owned. It is very well made and durable. The blade is very sharp and it cuts easily. I would definitely recommend this!
This is honestly probably my favorite knife ever. I love the Granton Edge but I could only ever find it on Santoku knives which I hate using. The steel is great and holds an edge very nicely. I hone it every few weeks and haven't had to sharpen it yet after a few hundred hours of use.
Great knife, I work at 3 different restaurants and this knife is my workhorse. I use it almost exclusively stays sharp and is comfortable to use. I highly recommend this knife.
