Mercer Culinary Ultimate White, 12 Inch Chef's Knife

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.

It’s good for the price

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.

I am so far very pleased with this chef knife. I like the weight and feel of it in my hand. It is sharp, but not razor sharp. The blade is of a good thickness which makes it not flimsy and bendable like so many lower costing knives. The price point for such a good quality knife of its size, I believe would be hard to bet. So far so good. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone looking for a quality yet inexpensive well balanced 12 inch chef knife.

Very big. Very sharp. Wish it had a sheath with it

Feels soooo expensive! Sharp and high quality! Used to cut watermelon.

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.
