Mercer Culinary M23112 Millennia Black Handle, 12-Inch Wavy Edge, Slicer

Let me start with this, I fully recognize this is designed for cake. I think it would do a good job of shaping and cutting cake and think it would do a good job at this. I specifically purchased this to accompany my 12 in Mercer chef to fill the gaps that the chef just didn’t do as well. This thing fits the bill! For the price this knife is all I could ever ask for. The length is perfect for slicing perfect brisket slices and is very sharp! Similar knives that aren’t half as well made sell for 4-5x’s the amount. I would recommend this knife to anyone.

My 3rd Mercer knife. Great grip and cutting-edge

I bought this knife originally for my husband to cut his bbq meats. We didn’t use it much for that purpose. However, I have recently discovered it sliced through my sourdough bread wonderfully! I almost always hand wash and dry immediately. I purchased in 2020 and it is just like new. I’ve used it the most in the past few months.

Good knife for what we use it for. Longer than we wanted, but the price was right.

I got this in January and have never sharpened it!!! I work at a high volume restaurant and bought this one for work. In 4 1/2 months all I have had to do is use my honing steel 2-3 times a week and it’s still sharp enough to shave hair off my arm!!! 😳😳😳Holy edge retention Batman!😳😳😳 It’s well balanced, has a good weight, and has been comfortable for me to use for shifts lasting 8-12 hours. It has become the go-to knife I find myself preferring to either of my two previous favorites.

When ever I purchase something, I intend that I will get a reasonable product for the money I spend. This does not always work, especially when shopping online. In this case, I am pleased to report that this bread knife, is a welcome addition to my kitchen. I had bought a bamboo bread slicing guide which necessitated the purchase of a longer knife. This one is perfect for the job. Reasonable quality, and the handle feels like it will last a good while.

I had the 10 inch Mercer wavy edge bread knife for several years, but needed a long blade for the bread slicing guide that I bought for consistency in my artisan sourdough bread slices. This is the perfect length for the job. Plus the wavy edge Mercer knife is the best knife I have ever used to slice artisan sourdough. I am so pleased with the knife and know that I will get years of use from it. I do take extra care with my knives in washing and caring for them.

I bought this knife specifically for slicing artisan loaves of bread and it does a great job. My old knives just destroyed the bread when I tried to slice it. It's very sharp and although I've only used it for bread so far I might give it a try the next time I have a large roast or ham. Definitely highly recommended.
