German Steel Blade
Each knife is designed to stay sharper, longer, with a high-carbon, no-stain, German steel blade that's resistant to rust, corrosion, and discoloration. Taper-ground edges allow for finer, more precise chopping and slicing action while ensuring superior edge retention.

Ergonomic
An ergonomically-shaped Delrin handle with a rounded spine gives each piece increased comfort and reduced fatigue. This handle guides the one piece, fully forged, razor sharp blade for superior performance.

Full Tang
The full tang design extends the blade the entire length of the handle for exceptional balance and strength.

Shortened Bolster
Below the blade, a shortened bolster provides better balance and easy honing with full blade edge exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers
Mercer: Knife Handling
Watch this video to learn how to properly hold a knife
Grasp the knife by the handle allowing your thumb and index finger to rest on the blade for support. Before handling a knife, put a light to medium duty cut resistant glove on the hand opposite of the hand that holds the knife. The glove will stay on the hand until the knife has been cleaned and properly stored. Use the right knife for the right job. Keep it sharp.

I haven't been able to use this a lot in the kitchen I work in due to the menu needs. However, I've played around with the knife and really liked the slight flexibility to it. I can see this making fillet work easy and removing skin from fish a simple task. It is still a quality knife and I love the craftsmanship of it.
