Mercer Culinary M23520 Renaissance® 9" Forged Riveted Chef's Knife

I couldn't be happier with this knife. It is very well made and the blade is very sharp. I love how easy it is to slice and cut vegetables and meats. It makes my job a lot easier and less time-consuming. I would highly recommend it.

This knife is extraordinary! I love the design and the quality. This is a knife recommended for any commercial kitchen. It is designed to last a very long time.

I really like the performance of this knife. Thinner and sharper than my Henckel 8 inch chef knife and without the massive bolster that inhibits full stroke sharpening. I'm slowly replacing my other Henckel & Icel knives with the Mercer Culinary blades. Big thumbs-up!

I've been using this knife for over a year and I still get top-quality cutting with this one. It Sharpens well and maintains an excellent shine. As often as I use this I've had barely any wear marks or scuffs on the hilt.

Good and sharp. Every bit as good (actually better) than my other one. Well worth the money and much less expensive than other knives of this quality.

I have been really impressed with these knives. Great quality steel, stays sharp for a long time with some simple stropping. Make sure to clean and dry right after use. Ergonomic and well balanced, handle feels really good. Glad I went for these and not the plastic handle.

Cuts well, cleans off easily, stays on the magnetic knife block well and responds to honing. Best quality at this price point that I've been able to find. Won't hold a sharp edge as long as some other professional knives, but for what you pay for this has a great return.

This 8" serrated knife is built with a very high quality, high carbon stainless steel held fast by a sturdy and surprisingly comfortable seamless combination polypropyl-santoprene handle. I ran some unscientific tests to satisfy my curiosity and was pleasantly surprised.. Up against an older, heavier, 10' serrated knife (that was recently, and more importantly correctly, sharpened) I have at home, it produced cleaner cuts in a variety of breads, fruits, and vegetables.

Very nice quality knife at a great price. Blade is very sharp and the handle is smooth and feels good in my hand. Very satisfied with this purchase.

This is a really nice knife. Personally I think *" is the sweet spot. I'll use a 10" blade, but prefer my 8". My only complaint is I wish the bolster would come a little further down the blade.

This is one sharp little pairing knife! It is very lightweight but works very well. It will be a good replacement for my old one.
