Mercer Culinary Millennia 10-Inch Wide Bread Knife

I was skeptic at first whether I would get a proper bread knife that professional culinary school and restaurants used for their daily prepping task. I had this light weighted Japanese stainless steel bread knife that came included in a knives set. Remember guys, any set of knives in a bundle are usually in poor quality. Anyway, the regular bread knife couldn't cut thin slices of bread without puncturing a hole in the middle or shredding off of corners of the crust from each slice of bread evenly.... So the finished product ended up with unevenly cut corner of the bread which makes it toasted unevenly in the oven. After an extensive researching on reviews from Amazon and on Youtube videos. I finally pull the trigger and order one to test out if it matches my expectation. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the knife as the grip of the handle was made of rubber which feels ergonomic to the touch. There's some heft to it too. As I slice my first piece of bread, it glides in gently like cutting through butter with minimum effort and force. It didn't crush the loaf of bread as I press the blade on top of it during the cutting process. It had few little crumbs too! It cuts the corner of the bread without shredding or crushing it as I cut into thin slices. The cheap regular one does the job just fine but it couldn't cut the bread to thin slices without shredding it but no problem with thicker slices... With the nice proper bread knife, I feel I'm in complete control of cutting the size I want without the fear of jeopardising the final product. Overall satisfaction is 10/10. Hopefully, it will stay sharp in the years to come...

Great bread knife!

Excelente calidad; corta perfecto y sin batallar las hogazas de pan.

Best bred knife. Sharp and weighty

Excelente faca para cortar pães de fermentação natural, casca dura e miolo macio. Foi dica de uma padeira que sigo no Instagram. Fiquei muito grata!
