Mercer CulinaryM23210 , Stainless Steel, Black, 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge Bread Knife

Excellent knife. Very sharp and cuts through bread and vegetables with no effort whatsoever. Amazing value for money, looks great, not too heavy. Handle is comfortable with excellent grip. Long sharp blade so be careful while using! Really happy with purchase.

This knife is sharp enough to make you question every other blade in your kitchen. The first time I used it, I realised my old knives had basically been blunt butter spreaders in comparison. It slices through meat, veg, and bread with such clean precision that I actually enjoy meal prep now. Even chopping onions feels almost cinematic, like I’m starring in a cooking show.The handle is ergonomic and grippy, so even after long cooking sessions you don’t feel like your wrist is going to fall off. The balance is spot-on, making it easy to control whether you’re mincing garlic or tackling a stubborn squash. It feels professional, without needing to remortgage the house to own one.What I like most is the durability. After multiple uses and quick washes, the blade still looks brand new—no dulling, no chips, no drama. It’s the sort of knife that makes you want to cut more things just for fun. Honestly, if you don’t like cooking, this knife might change your mind.

I have had this bread knife for a couple of months now, and it's one of the most pleasing purchases I've made in recent years. I read a lot of customer reviews of various knives before buying this and the general concensus that it's a good one were correct.I bake my own bread and wanted a good knife to make the most of my limited baking skills. This one surprised me firstly by how large and heavy it is, secondly by how easliy it cuts, even when making thin slices. It's got a good thickness to the blade, so it does not bend or flex and I cannot over stress just how sharp it is. The weight of the knife is more than I anticipated and another good feature of it, making it cut effortlessly. The handle at first glance looks large, but I have found it to be an exceptionally good grip, which is enhanced by the excellent texture of it. I doubt I shall ever need to replace this knife, but if I do, it will be with another one of these. I cannot speak to wither or not it is dishwasher proof as I don't have a dishwasher, but given the materials of it and the quality of construction, I cannot see any reason it would not be. If you are looking for a bread knife, to use each day, as I do, I believe you will be as happy with this one each time you use it, as I am when I take mine out of the kitchen drawer each morning and use it on my loveley homemade loaf.

Good quality, length, sharp and easy to Sharpen comfortable slicing knife used mostly on prosciutto and roast beef, far from being an expert but probably the best value for money I could have found.I like to keep it shape by honing on leather strop.

This little bread knife is brilliant. I've been looking for the perfect knife for cutting bagels, muffins and baguettes for ages and have tried a collection of small serrated knives, because I struggle to cut small bread items with a long unwieldy bread knife. I recently bought the longer offset Mercer bread knife and like it, so I was really pleased to see they did this smaller version. It's perfect, just what I have been looking for. It cuts soft rolls and crusty baguettes equally well and is easy to handle, so feels safer to use than a long knife. I liked it so much I have bought a second one for our holiday home in France to cut all that lovely french bread🥖

Excellent knife! The best I’ve ever had. Perfect sharpness, comfortable handle, great quality and price. I’m so pleased.

Firstly, this knife is extremely sharp. I only use it to slice my home made bread and wear a protective glove to do so and to avoid cutting my hand. I like the length of the knife and it cuts my bread very well. It is a good knife to grip and I am very pleased with it. I must repeat that it is extremely sharp.

I have purchased many bread knives over the years, always trying hard not to spend a fortune on any particular knife, sadly this has proved to be a false economy though, if I'd known what I know now, I would have just saved up and bought a far better knife the first time, hindsight can be a wonderful thing!What I can say about this purchase is that, thus far, I am very impressed!Yes, it's certainly not the cheapest, but saying that, it's also far from being too expensive.I have used it to cut very fresh, artisan bread and it has coped very well.Applying very little pressure and sawing away, sliced the bread evenly and as thinly as I wanted, without destroying the loaf!I like the extra length to the blade than all previous bread knives I've used.It feels well balanced too and obviously, nice and sharp.Even though this is strictly a bread knife, I actually tried it to carve a roasted joint of beef and it sliced that nice and thinly, an excellent result!Some other reviews have mentioned not liking the texture of the handle, but I don't have any issues with that at all.I pop mine in the dishwasher and it appears to be holding up well.I would say, considering the price paid for this bread knife, it is well worth buying, I am very impressed!Hopefully it will last, only time will tell, but certainly the best value bread knife I have ever bought and I've had quite a few!
