Mercer knives are my favorite but this one in particular is just exceptional. I have never used a better bread knife. It actually cuts without having to saw at the bread or flatten it.

We use these to cut our Pav ( bread ) for our food truck they are nice and long knives so you only need to make the cut one time and it will go through both of our breads at once.

Another great knife. My husband loves tgis knife for cutting bread, bagels etc. Nicely balanced and easy to handle. Would recommend any of the knives they make

Mercer makes a good knife, and this one is no exception. It has a nice heft to it, and the full tang means it will last a lot longer than other knives.

We LOVE this knife. It is very well made and has become a go-to in our kitchen. We are very pleased with this purchase and even bought one for use at home.
I was fed up with my bread knife when I came across this knife. I have so many good things about the Mercer brand bought I couldn't believe it until I saw it for myself. This knife cuts through bread effortless without sawing.. my cut bread no longer is in pieces but rather in one nicely cut piece.

I'm very happy with this serrated forged bread knife with gold hardware has a great way to it very comfortable handle and it is nice and sharp and not uncomfortable using it at all
Verified Purchase
Gotta say, I have never had such a sharp, perfect bread knife. I gotta say, these are my favorite knives. I purchased these for our church kitchen because of the price and the reviews, and then purchased a few for my home. I have other brands at home, and I consistently reach for the Mercers over any of these others. They hold their edge, are extremely sharp, and well balanced. I simply make sure that I use my hone on them before each use. Can't beat these knives for the price!!
Excellent bread knife from Mercer Genesis knife line it cuts through bread with ease and at an incredible price forged steel and a tacky sure grip santoprene handle

This knife is fantastic. You truly can cut through a loaf of bread without squishing it or it tearing all apart. It cuts smooth as butter. I also use this knife to cut cheese for parties. It is so easy to get through and will not harm the knife. Absolutely love it.

Love to have this mrcer barnde 8" breade knife easy tonuse easy to cut bread very sharp the handle was really good and handy awesome
This mercer bread knife is so cheap and great to have in the chef's tool box. We do a lot of crostini's at my hotel in banquet, so it gets old using the companies knives to slice 10 baguettes at a time. This knife glides through the product and is worth every penny!
Verified Purchase
This knife was suggested to me in place of a Merckens Knife and I decided to try it. I am very pleased with it. I have tried both now and like both the same. Thanks for the savings.
