Reviews for 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.

This slicer knife, among its more obvious applications, works great for slicing cakes and especially - not kidding here - huge rolls of gefilte fish!

A monster knife. A sharp monster knife that is. I really like how the edge is rounded so when slicing the knife does not get caught. It will last a awhile for my needs.

This is a very sharp knive that works awesome for all my carving needs and the price is even better thanks to webstaurant I get all the knives I need at a fraction of the cost at other places

I've had this Knife for a couple of years now and can I tell you how much I LOVE this knife. I use it for leveling my cakes and at first the knife was intimidating because it's so sharp and long. But once I understood where not to keep my hands, this has been the best. It's still as sharp as the day I bought it.

this mercer grantor edge knife makes cutting steak and other meats a breeze with the edge to be nonstick we can keep slicing without moving meat around

We purchased a couple of these knives for carving proteins better then the chef's knives we had on hand. Mercer is a really good, trusted brand of knives and upon receiving these, we could see and feel the quality of knife. When we used them, they didn't disappoint.

Great knife at a fantastic price. Arrives extremely sharp. Fits in your hand well and cuts ribs like they were butter. Perfect size, too. I may give these as gifts - they're that good.

Great slicer. I bought it to cut brownies (not what most people use it for, I know, but they were half sheet pan sized), but have since used it on roast beef with great success.

This knife is great for slicing large bread loaves. It used to get really heavy usage before we got a bread slicer but we never had to replace it. Durable product.

Great carving knife! We cook and carve about 120 pounds of prime rib a week, and this guy has held it's edge well. Nice and sharp!

Was surprised at the quality for the price. I bought this knife because I needed a longer knife for slicing brisket. Knife was somewhat sharp out of package. The edge was slightly off center, but was easily fixed on my stone. Have used this knife now about 10 times. It has held up well and kept a decent edge.

I use this knife to cut raw sirloin butt in a commercial setting; I cut about 1000 to 1500 lbs of sirloin per week with this knife alone. I have had to replace it about once a year due to the amount of mileage I use them for. Price tag is great. I probably wouldn't need to replace this knife if I used it in my home rather than for business.

At first I was worried about the size of the knife but it's so easy to use and cuts like a breeze! Another awesome purchase

This knife always surprises me how sharp it is when I'm using it. I bought this for leveling large cakes and it does the job.

Bought this as a gift for my Father and it has stood the test of time. This knife just like all Mercer knives has a comfortable grip and a very SHARP blade. This knife will carve up anything you put in front of it.

I use this knife to slice ham and brisket. It performs well and stays sharp. It is rigid and appears to be holding up well

This knife is a perfect slicing knife for meat and makes short work for brisket in single strokes. I've used the knife at home several times after the event for a family dinner, and it is still extremely sharp.

This slicer is great. Not too expensive and has held its edge for a long time. It goes right through prime rib with little effort

I love how smooth this slicer cuts through large cuts of meat. The serrated blade makes it easy to cut full briskets, prime rib, etc.

I use these slicers for my sharpening service they keep food from sticking. have a nice profile that does not get thick after a few sharpenings also good height at heel to keep you safe when chopping close to the heel, Highly recommended decent edge retention for a stamped knife.
