M23210 , Stainless Steel, Black, 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge Bread Knife

I have purchased many bread knives over the years, always trying hard not to spend a fortune on any particular knife, sadly this has proved to be a false economy though, if I'd known what I know now, I would have just saved up and bought a far better knife the first time, hindsight can be a wonderful thing! What I can say about this purchase is that, thus far, I am very impressed! Yes, it's certainly not the cheapest, but saying that, it's also far from being too expensive. I have used it to cut very fresh, artisan bread and it has coped very well. Applying very little pressure and sawing away, sliced the bread evenly and as thinly as I wanted, without destroying the loaf! I like the extra length to the blade than all previous bread knives I've used. It feels well balanced too and obviously, nice and sharp. Even though this is strictly a bread knife, I actually tried it to carve a roasted joint of beef and it sliced that nice and thinly, an excellent result! Some other reviews have mentioned not liking the texture of the handle, but I don't have any issues with that at all. I pop mine in the dishwasher and it appears to be holding up well. I would say, considering the price paid for this bread knife, it is well worth buying, I am very impressed! Hopefully it will last, only time will tell, but certainly the best value bread knife I have ever bought and I've had quite a few!

Excellent knife. Strong, sharp, cuts nice even slices with ease.

I hesitated before buying a bread knife as expensive as this Mercer but in view of the good reviews I decided to take the plunge. I also bought another bread knife from Amazon for about a third of the price. The difference between the two is so obvious and the Mercer was money well spent. It slices through bread very easily and as a home baker it is invaluable.

Effortless Cutting: Slices through tough, crunchy sourdough crusts like butter without crushing the soft bread inside. Great Leverage: The 10-inch length and wide wavy edge make clean, single-stroke cuts incredibly easy. Comfortable Grip: The handle feels solid and secure, providing excellent control over dense artisanal loaves. Versatile & Durable: Performs flawlessly on everything from delicate pastries to tough crusts. Highly recommended!

OMG, after battling with cheap bread knives, which tended to rip rather than cut, I finally decided it was time. Having read numerous reviews, on line, google best etc. I finally got this one. As sharp as a razor, never knew bread could be cut so cleanly and easy. Even tomatoes could be cut incredibly thin. I seriously wish I had not wasted my money on inferior bread knives. Get the this, I assure you will not be disappointed

I've only recently purchased this knife so I can't speak for its longevity/durability, but initial impressions at least are excellent, it really seems to punch above its weight at the price point. It is very well made and solid in the hand and the blade has minimal flex and is very strong. Its the perfect length for slicing anything from ciabatta up to full size loaves (you may need something smaller for small loaves, buns, etc). The rubber grip is extremely comfortable and 'soft grip', not squishy but just enough give compared to cheap hard plastic, its ever so slightly rubberized. It cuts well, The rounded tip is a bonus, since a point isn't required for cutting bread and it makes handling and storage safer. All in all this is extremely impressive for the price point. If it has one failing it is that it perhaps doesn't cut quite as well as some of the very best bread knives, it does cut well but doesn't quite have that "effortless" cutting that the very best knives do - however for the price this is being very picky, it really is very good.

I have had this bread knife for a couple of months now, and it's one of the most pleasing purchases I've made in recent years. I read a lot of customer reviews of various knives before buying this and the general concensus that it's a good one were correct. I bake my own bread and wanted a good knife to make the most of my limited baking skills. This one surprised me firstly by how large and heavy it is, secondly by how easliy it cuts, even when making thin slices. It's got a good thickness to the blade, so it does not bend or flex and I cannot over stress just how sharp it is. The weight of the knife is more than I anticipated and another good feature of it, making it cut effortlessly. The handle at first glance looks large, but I have found it to be an exceptionally good grip, which is enhanced by the excellent texture of it. I doubt I shall ever need to replace this knife, but if I do, it will be with another one of these. I cannot speak to wither or not it is dishwasher proof as I don't have a dishwasher, but given the materials of it and the quality of construction, I cannot see any reason it would not be. If you are looking for a bread knife, to use each day, as I do, I believe you will be as happy with this one each time you use it, as I am when I take mine out of the kitchen drawer each morning and use it on my loveley homemade loaf.

Purchased a bread maker and none of our knives would cut the bread without ripping it. This knife cuts it like hot butter, it is an absolute must if cutting your own bread. Very good quality and very very sharp. Top marks and well worth the price.

Cheap looking packaging that was difficult to extricate the knife. However, knife itself was a joy to use and intricately sharp, clean swift cuts of fragile items without bruising or crushing. Hopes it stays thais way for a decently long period. Am only going to use softer wood cutting board instead of my favourite non-wood sloped board with side draining that unfortunately is hard on my other knifes and need to be honed very frequently. Hope to help it stay that way as I don't know how to sharpen or hone serrated blades.

The best bread knife ever, I loved it. It cuts off sourdough bread easily, which is hard to cut if you know what I mean;)

This knife is serrated, sharp and cuts through crusty sourdough bread easily with no effort. The blade and the heavy duty handle are in balance. Excellent knife at an affordable price.

Corta perfecto las cortezas de pan rústico! Muy filoso. Me hubiera encantado que incluyera un protector.

Best bred knife. Sharp and weighty
