Mercer Culinary Millennia 8-Inch, Yellow, Stainless Steel, Green, 8" Chef's Knife

Handles easily. Chops well. I bought this because I need a decent kitchen knife for occasional use (from herbs to bones) and didn't want to spend too much.

Bought this knife on the back of other reviews and I haven’t been disappointed.

Works well

Very Sharp, good good knife, best i've bought out of 3. Happy. Good grip handle.

a lovely knife, and quite a bargain

Very nice feel to the knife with added grip. Cuts perfectly and do recommended!

No cover

This is a great kitchen knife which can be used for almost everything.

I bought this as a cost effective knife for work in a high volume restaurant..(Our knives are dogged. We were down to one good chef knife. owner likes to buy junk. i.e. farberware.)On it's second week of heavy use and not a problem yet. (Knife has seen a few rides through the dish machine.)If you cook, you know how to use this knife. it's a standard chef knife.It's not heavy (I prefer heavy, but the weight of this is ok for me.) and was almost razor sharp when I got mine. (Which, if you know knives.. this doesn't last forever. but the edge is holding thus far. few runs through the ceramic sharpener and it's good to go.)As for the edge? it's not a soft edge. you will chip the edge if you clank it on steel. (common sense)It has a flat edge for about 2/3 of the blade. then curves to the tip.(I hate rounded edge/rocking blades.. can't chop finely with them. Can see the blade in the picture, represents it perfectly.)It's NSF certified. comes clean easily. Held up to the grease of our restaurant just fine thus far.Handle has a good grip and I like the angle of the handle.Mine does not have the rust spot problem some other reviewers mentioned. (And it's been through the dish machine and left sit over night)I'd recommend this knife as a decent beginner knife for the home cook or a cheap knife for a restaurant kitchen.(line cook, prep cook, etc.)Will fit either bill.I mentioned home cook because you should avoid the inferior knives you buy at walmart and most department stores.Usually find farberware and other overpriced garbage.I have had the knife for 2 months now and still as functional as It was new.

First off, it's kind of lame that Amazon lumps all the reviews from different styles in this brand into one list, but in this case, I'd give all of my Mercer Cullinary knives a perfect 5 star rating anyway.I know their are cheaper knives, but those are just going to be garbage. And on the other end of the scale, you can pay 5 to 10 X's as much for a knife, and it had better be a good knife for that price !But if you just want a really good, very sharp knife for a very good price, look no further !I now own 3 Mercer Cullinary knives and they are all fantastic 🙂My 8" narrow fillet knife is so sharp, it's scary ! If you get one of these, get it with the sheath like I should have.My 10" wide wavy blade bread knife, it the sharpest bread knife I've ever experienced !And my 8" Chef knife (with the green and black handle 😉) is just a beauty to behold, and again, rediculous sharp !I'm totally sold on Mercer Cullinary knives 🙂

So after doing a pretty extensive amount of research online about budget knives, watching dozens and dozens of videos and reading reviews, I chose this knife out of a list of about 5 knives in the $10-$20ish range for a friend at work who was tired of using the beat up knives the kitchen supplied (no routine care on these old Victorianox and Dexter budget knives). Long story short after she got hers I had to order not 1....not 3......but 6...SIX more for co-workers that wanted a decent knife for the house or to use there at work(the handle colors are nice). The Grip is awesome, good for long prep sessions with every grip. It is Sharp and retains a edge even after a case of peppers on a solid silicone cutting board. Blade might be a bit on the brittle side as the tip will bend easily if dropped, but easily sharpened back out using a cheap-o hand sharpener and steel. If you need a Decent prep knife on a budget than this is my go to.

I used to cut microgreens with ease! My favorite knife to use.It’s sharp!

I used to use these knives all day everyday at a restaurant I worked at. I loved them, and decided to search them up when my last knife broke in two. I was shocked to find out how cheap the knife is, half of what my previous one was. Great price and great quality? Heck yeah. These bad boys stay sharp for a loooooong time, and when you do need to sharpen them again - if you use the right tools - they'll keep that refreshed edge for a good while. Totally worth the buy.
