Mercer Culinary Genesis Chef's Knife, 6-Inch , M20606,Black,25x10x3 cm

Wow. Fed up with having blunt knives and decided to spend more on a hopefully decent one. Not disappointed, it is SHARP, can cut thin slices of tomatoes and lemon. Really nice feel and weight. Going to buy a smaller one from the same range. Why have I waited so long!?

The Mercer 6” Chef’s knife has a good edge, cuts well without bias, and feels balanced and comfortable in the hand. The absence of rivets in the handle is a great plus point for me. Hand wash it only, never ever in a dishwasher. The steel is good quality and if the claimed alloy has been used then it will keep its edge much longer than a more old fashioned blade. Always use a proper whetstone or sharpening steel to dress the blade. Out of the box it cut though a tomato under its own weight, one of the ultimate tests for how sharp a blade is. Trimming a steak was easy, fat and gristle were banished in a twinkling. I like this one.

I received of of these via Resale. The edge had been badly damaged so I didn't keep it but it gave me the chance to view a very nice knife, solid, good looking and I should think very effective. The handle would suit larger hands. I am considering buying a pristine one at full price.

Sharpness and quality of blade edge is excellent. Stays razor sharp with minor sharpening once a week (couple of strokes with a steel). As a knife can't really fault it. My only gripe is that the handle does feel disproportionately cheap compared to the blade. It would have been cool if they had used a slightly more premium plastic.

Fantastic quality at a great price! Heavy, super sharp, grippy handle. Comfortable to hold with rounded areas where the handle meets the blade. Great size for smaller hands and isn’t unwieldy, highly recommend!

This is my first proper chef knife. I didn't want to spend too much money on a proper knife but still have the quality and this knife didn't disappointed me. After 2 months of use is still holds the sharpness just every now and then use a honing steel and that's it. I don't like big knifes that's why I choose this size and it sits perfectly in my hand. Very comfortable grip and has a good balance.

It has a good weight and seems to be well made. Great value if it lasts!

Great knife very sharp and well balanced in use

I have now had this knife for over 6 years! I am very impressed with it and have grown to prefer it over my zwilling profession s (granted 8inch vs this one at 6inch). I am kind of a knife guy. Very impressed with the balance, weight, feel and cutting. I sharpen tools for my woodworking and this knife takes an edge very nicely on resharpening. For the money, its amazing in my opinion.

Not bad, for the price I think it’s decent

Love these knoves. I ordered two and have them both working. Stay sharp pretty good. Look even better!

Buena calidad por un bajo precio. Totalmente recomendable.

Very well made, sharp chef’s knife. Has quickly become my “go to” knife in the kitchen. Handle is comfortable and robust. Works well, with my large Hands. Price is very reasonable.
