Mercer Culinary Millennia® 12" Smooth Edge Slicer Knife M23870

Indescribably sharp and beautifully balanced. This is an astonishingly good knife, especially for the money. I've never used a knife that holds its edge as well as this one does. One really doesn't have to apply pressure when slicing meet, for example. The weight of the knife allows it to effortless glide right through the meat under its own weight. Yes, it is stamped, but the balance is very, very good. The handle material is very comfortable to hold; soft and very "grippy" even when wet. One minor gripe is with the ergonomics of the handle where it meets the blade: it is physically wider than the rest of the handle. I believe that this is to give the user a "fitted" area in which to place the thumb and index finger, but this makes it difficult to "pinch" the blade for control (as most professionals do).

Good knife. I use it for slicing brisket on my food truck. I have a much more expensive slicer (about 3 times the cost of this one) but found the handle to gets slick after slicing for a while. This handle has a better shape making it much easier to grip with greasy gloves.

This Knife is amazing for cutting. It's nice and long but cuts super sharp. Very great purchase.

This carving knife very sharp and cuts effortlessly and is an essential item in every chefs tool kit. I highly recommend this product, I would certainly purchase again.

Super sharp and keeps its edge well. While it's too large to be practical for many purposes, it really helps with carving large meats like brisket or turkey breast.

The best bread knife I've ever owned. Razor sharp! Teeth will quickly penetrate, and quickly cut through even softer or fresh/warm bread and cut through with almost no effort. It's incredibly satisfying to use. Highly recommended. Hope it lasts a good long while, but you can't beat the price.

I used this for bread Stippling before baking and obviously for cutting the bread after baked. It works perfectly for both situations. Very sharp knife.

Needed a nice big slicing knife for carving up brisket and this does the job. Plenty long and arrived sharp out of the box. Great knife.

Good value! Overall, this seems to be a well made knife, that comes sharp and ready to use. It has a good soft grip handle that allows for a good grip. The only slight negative to this blade, is the blade is a slightly thicker than some others of similar type.

The Mercer Culinary M23011 Millennia 11" Granton Edge Slicer Knife is a great knife perfect for slicing brisket or other large roasts. The granton edge helps prevent the meat from sticking to the blade. I would recommend buying this product.

We typically slice around 50 beef briskets per month. For that reason we wanted to test out a few different options. I can say for certain that this slicing knife was the absolute standout of the bunch. The edge is incredibly sharp right out of the package. The handle incredibly comfortable and affords you an element of control that is unrivaled by any of the other slicing knife options. If you're in the market for an above average slicing knife for a great price this is the one that you need to purchase!

A+, item as described! This knife is great for cutting bread. We Slice a lot of bread, and find that this style knife works best. Will reorder as needed.

Love this knife! Quickly cuts watermelon and made it easy for me to use (super sharp so a little nervous using his but was careful). I hesitated purchasing the 11" knife because it was so much cheaper and you know what they say, you get what you pay for, but after reading the reviews I made the purchase and glad I did! It cuts like butter! Have used it several times but this knife also works well on bread, brisket and other foods. HIGHLY recommended!

This is an Excellent silver knife my Mercer culinary at a fair price point . Useful for slicing meat , the steel blade and slip resistant handle are invaluable

This is the longest carving blade that I've ever owned! It's a great knife and the granton edge is perfect for smoked beef brisket. My dad was an old time butcher who taught and required me to properly slice meat. It does the job and is a great tool. What I really like is being able to display some showmanship in my slicing skills. Buy this knife, only if you know how to cut and slice meat. It's not amateurs. Don't forget the blade guard.

Our local grocery store has a truckload sale a 2-3 times per year. You can buy butcher packs at that time. We this knife I can easily cut perfect New York strip steaks in one pass. I do wish there was a knife guard that would cover the whole blade. It is wickedly sharp.

I use these knives on my carving stations. They look nice and slice very well. they are od good quality and are pretty heavy too

Mercer knives have been in a staple in my knife kit for some time now. They tend to stay sharp and are durable. This slices is no exception to that. I love the large handle (I have big hands) and the long blade makes it easier to make single motion slices on prime cuts of meat like my smoked briskets.

This is a very good inexpensive slicing knife. The stamped blade was sharp out of the box, and very easy to resharpen. It's just long enough to get a nice, even slice without having to "saw". The width of the blade and the rounded tip help to make even, consistent slices, and the handle is comfortable and secure. An inexpensive knife that does what it was designed to do.

These are a must buy for any one who offers carving stations for catering. It's super comfortable and glides through pork, beef, chicken, turkey alike. It's a definite winner.
