Taper Ground Edge

This knife's high carbon, traditional German no-stain steel blade features hand-polished edges that are taper ground for superior stability, easy-honing, and long-lasting sharpness.

Short Bolster

A short, thick bolster adds durability, enables easy sharpening, and allows for the chef to use the knife as they see fit, including situations that call for choking up on the handle and blade to obtain a better grip.

Versatile Design

This knife's versatile design provides excellent control when chopping, dicing, mincing, or slicing fruits, vegetables, and meats. Its granton edge features grooves that allow for less contact between the food and the blade for fast, easy cutting. Add it to your kitchen to ensure you and your staff have the proper tool to complete food preparation tasks effectively and efficiently.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
