## Description

Mercer Culinary Asian Collection Chinese Chef's Knife with Santoprene Handle

Review: Perfect - Sharp out of the box
Review: For the price this a decent knife. - I bought this because I wanted to try this style of knife before splashing out on anything more expensive. As others have pointed out, despite the shape, it's not a a 'cleaver' in the sense of something to bash bones with, it's a general purpose tool for cutting up relatively soft things like meat and veg. It's taken me a few cutting sessions to adapt to the geometry, but it is a very versatile tool when you get the hang of it. The wide blade seems to make cutting thin slices of stuff without wandering easier and being able to 'scoop' things from the cutting board to the pan in one go is a plus. Out of the box I found the 'factory edge' very sharp - good enough to score pork rind cleanly and with control, which needs a good edge. The edge has held up reasonably well for a stainless steel knife. After two cutting sessions it was noticeably dulled, but a few swipes with a ceramic rod restored it. This isn't unexpected for the steel - there is always a trade-off between corrosion resistance and edge quality/retention and the compromise here leans towards corrosion resistance. I've left it out wet on the draining board, and not a spot of rust. It's a very good knife for the price IMO. I'd recommend, but don't expect the edge to hold up like super-hard high end knives. Much easier to sharpen though!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great first Chinese knife
*by N***S on 21 February 2026*

Fantastic value. Extremely sharp out of the packaging, slices through anything with ease. Despite its size it’s quite light and easy to maneuver. A great introduction to Chinese style knives.
