Mercer Culinary Renaissance 8-Inch Forged Chef's Knife

It is an 8-inch chef's knife with a pretty classic western-style handle. This is made from Delrin which was actually made by the DuPont company as a m...

Uh good good, easy to work with, Balance? It's it's a it's just a really great knife.

So let's talk about this knife really quickly. Let's find that balance.

This knife has me feeling let down by Mercer... I have had their 3.5" paring knife for over a year, and their 8" bread knife about the same and really like them - Very good steel, build quality, ergonomics, fit/finish, and value for what you get, plus they fill their intended role as well as any of ...

I have had this knife for a month. As other reviewers have indicated it really does need to be sharpened upon receipt. I tend to sharpen my blades on a regular basis, and this knife is doing quite nicely, now glides more easily through thick foods like potatoes and meats. The knife is heavy in the h...

First off, I'm in my 70's and have small hands which are complaining of a bit of arthritis lately. I never had to give my hands much attention before, but they have it now. Pain can be a real kill-joy, but it can be outsmarted, and I've begun making adjustments to how I approach everyday tasks. Rece...

Can't believe you can buy this forged knife on sale for around $35. I highly recommend the 10 inch over the 8". I have both. The 10 inch balances beautifully and has a flatter belly on the bottom which I prefer. I LOVE Mercer knives because they are an exceptional value AND use premium steel from Ge...
