Mercer Culinary Ultimate White, 12 Inch Chef's Knife

Very sharp!

I had an old (50 years)stainless steel kitchen knife with a seratted edge. It was demoted to the shop when we did a new kitchen. I used it for many years to cut up boxes and cut flowers from the yard. It was inexpensive. made in the 1970's. With covid I had more boxes from amazon. The old knife just wouldnt keep a sharp edge. I bought the Mercer 12 inch from amazon just to cut boxes. In the event it isthe best knife of its type I have ever owned and I have a lot of expensive knives in the kitchen. The plastic handle is a little small for my hand (i'm a large man.) The edge it holds is truely unbelieveable. I resharpen half as often as any of my others and use it twice as often. The price was unbelievable also.

This is a great knife for big jobs, and even the home kitchen has a few. If you need to cut a whole head of cabbage or a winter squash, this modestly priced knife will do it. I am looking forward to watermelon season. I have not had it long enough to comment on how it holds an edge but it was reasonably sharp on arrival; it arrived on time and in good condition. It is comfortable to hold and easy to clean. It is a BIG knife for big jobs and is not a good choice for peeling garlic or boning Cornish Game hens.

Good knife. Used for Cutting steak and chicken breast but I prefer it for Salmon. Size is perfect for skinning the salmon. Goes straight through

great value! good handle! is sharp and comfortable! well made

First, this comes with a soft plastic sleeve, which I love. The knife has a good weight a good balance. I thought my previous night was 12 inches but evidently it was 11 because chopping with this one is a new experience. The blade is sharp and I believe it’s a high-quality knife. I would recommend it for someone that wanted a really long knife.

Not a fancy knife, but very sharp, cuts great, durable edge, good handle, lightweight, ergonomic. Every bit as good and functional in the kitchen as much fancier expensive knives. I now prefer using this knife over my 12 inch Henckels five star, and you could buy about 10 of these for the price of that one Henckels.

Great knife for the price….

Has been using this for over 3 years; sturdy and reliable even without sharpening for people who are working in the pastry shop who cuts frozen pastries almost every day.

Bought as my brisket slicer with scope to do double duty to cut larger produce.

Wow this knife is big. It's more of a short sword. You can slice anything with this razor sharp knife. Very shiny too so it's flashy. Good handle, good construction and weight. An amazing knife at this price. Just buy it!

Llega bastante afilado, de mango cómodo, la hoja si es bastante grande y pesada.

A great buy for this size of knife. It is suitable for daily use in a large volume food production facility where management does not recommend employees use their own tools due to hygienic and security reasons. I will see how it holds with regular cleaning in the dishwasher.
