M20609 Genesis 9-Inch Chef's Knife Black

This is the second Mercer knife that I have purchased from Amazon. I was sick and tired of stainless steel knives that I simply couldn't keep sharp, so I bought a 10" Mercer carving knife four years ago for carving roast beef. Four years later it is still razor sharp. This time I bought an 8" carving knife. I absolutely love it. It is just as sharp as the knives I bought from the German knife manufacturer in Solingen. It is well balanced, and solidly built. The price for the Mercer is about 1/4 of the price for the similar German knife. Absolutely great value for the money. I would give the German knives about 4 and a half stars. They are quite excellent. But if I could I would give the Mercer 6 stars.

This is the first time I've purchased a chef's knife that wasn't part of a set. I was impressed by the balance and weight. I put it through its paces the first day I had it and most days since. It has stayed sharp with very minimal use of honing steel.

This may be the best knife I've ever bought. Nicely balanced, good handle, and very sharp. In fact, be very careful with it until you get used to it, because it is so sharp.

Tiene muy buen filo y muy buena calidad sobre el metal , para mi gusto no me agrado el mango suave ya que he tenido cuchillos antes con ese mismo material y con el tiempo se va desmoronando a parte al lavarlo se desgasta el mango.

Profesional chef, works great as your beater chef knife, or home chef knife. Would recommend.

Marvelous knife very sharp and nice weight Had a Henkel for years but live this knife No negatives yet

Knife came in scratched, but good knife, tang is bulky had a rubber cover, blade is stiff and hold its edge pretty well, sharpen every 6 mos. good weight to the knife balanced feel from front to back.

Glad I took the chance on buying this knife. I'd been using those cheap knives that come in a block. You can sharpen til the cows come home as they get dull easily. This knife has a good weight, feel and cuts beautifully. I spend lots of time in the kitchen cooking from scratch. Wish I'd purchased sooner, but grateful I found this. Fits my hand comfortably. No more pain when cutting. Is large enough to cut a pumpkin or watermelon easily. Should be washed and dried immediately for best condition. Although I had an exhausting day and left it over night once, but it still cleaned up nice in the morning. Not taking that chance again. These are carbon steel.

Se percibe de calidad tanto el mango como el acero. El filo es de primera aunque se degradó relativamente rápido. Nada que no arregle una buena afilada. Súper precio por un muy buen producto.

Fantastic knife. Keep it clean and take care of it and it will last you a very long time.

good weight, balance and blade as always requires upkeep. Great Purchase.
