VERY GOOD QUESTION. Mercer makes two differnt boning knives in the Rennaisance series, a "stiff" one and a "flexible" one and they're both the same length. The boning knife that comes with the set is the M23550 "stiff" model.

Mercer Culinary M23500 Renaissance 6-Piece Forged Knife Block Set, Tempered Glass Block

Q: Mercer Renaissance vs Mercer Genesis? Similar prices and both great reviews - just wondering which I should invest in...

I have several Mercer knives, but mostly Genesis, and the other posters are right that the main difference is in the handle. One point that's come up is that the default Genesis chef's knife has a full bolster, which makes it hard to sharpen the full length of the blade "by hand" (you can grind the bolster down, and a pro knife sharpener ought to be able to do this for you if you can't yourself) but there's also a "short bolster" version (I have both the full and short version and mostly use the short bolster now). The short bolster is the default on the Renaissance, though.

Q: Can these knives be used by Left Handed persons?

yes, these are both leftie and rightie. Some knives have an asymetrical bevel. These knives are 50/50 bevelAnd the handle is for both hands too, not "D" shaped like a Shun handle is. For comparison, this handle feels similar to a Henkels ProS handle or a Wusthof Classic handle.
