Mercer Culinary Ultimate White, 8 Inch Wavy Edge Offset Utility Knife

I was in need of a good serrated edge knife but also wanted to get an offset handle and the Mbercer Culinary knives kept coming up in my searches. I can't sing the praises enough about using an offset handle especially after having one of those "As seen on TV" Ginsu knives that I used for years. :) This one is SO much better. I love the grippy handle. It feels solid and stable in my hand, and I can make fairly precise cuts through vegetables and meats. But where this knife shines is in making thin cuts through crusty bread. I'm an amateur artisan bread maker and having a knife that easily cuts through crusty bread is essential. And at the price point it's at, I won't feel bad if it gets damaged. I'll just get a new one, though it feels well-built and sturdy enough to last for quite awhile. And as long as I maintain the blade (I have the correct sharpening tools), I do see having to another one anytime soon.

Slips right through bread without squashing it down. Excellent knife and the offset angle is wonderful. I'm so happy I ordered this, I just had to buy another for my daughter.

I got this to cut through paninis where a sawing motion will wreck the sandwich. I have a long bread knife that did pretty well except I hit my knuckles. I wanted a shorter knife and ordered this only to find it was just as long (my fault! The size is stated clearly and is accurate), I decided to try this any way and it does a great job. I am able to cut through the crusty panini with a minimal amount of sawing and once I'm through the crust I can cut straight down without making a mess of the sandwich an no knuckles on the counter. I have used it to cut other things like cutting a whole melon in half (good thing it's long for that). It is easy to clean and feels like it will hold up well. I have a few 'fancy' knives wit this is my third one with the plastic commercial kitchen type handle. The oldest I have is over 15 years old and is still one of my most used knives. They don't look impressive in a knife block on the counter (ESP the white handles) but they get the job done. I suspect a real chef or knife connoisseur could tell you why youneedto spend >$100 on a knife but for the general amateur cooking I do this is a great knife!

Overkill on the blade materials, this thing is sharp. The wavy edge blade is just right for breads, and I remember it being advertised as a bread knife. But it makes a terrific cake knife, which is what I use it for. The handle feels cheap, but it is doing it’s job nicely. The offset handle design helps when cutting through a cake, as my hand does not hit the table when I am cutting.

I love the feel of this knife in my hand

Cuts like a dream. Love the recessed handle. One of those little improvements that makes all the difference.

I bought this mainly to cut my sourdough breads. This is my first offset knife, and I really like the ergonomics of it. Cuts great and at a very reasonable price.

This is our new bread knife and we are loving it. We go through a lot of home baked loaves of various types (always doing experiments here) as well as sweet loaves like pumpkin or banana bread. It does a great job, slices through tough, hard crusted, or soft bread easily and cleanly, letting me do my specialty which is thin slices.. like really thin! I go down to a quarter inch or so sometimes, and this knife can easily enable that. Or thicker slices, it's just fine as well, of course.

Very sharp and handy for kitchen work

Very sharp, great knife

Seems to be a decent knife. But there are some dings on the knife surface. Not sure if they are from the manufacturer or transportation. First time seeing this on a brand new knife.

Very sharp, perfect to cut bread and tomatoes with. For the price of this item you're getting a great deal. Only thing I would have different is an inch of two longer blade. Happy with my purchase

Nice utility/bread knife. Offset edge keeps your knuckles happy when getting through a loaf or roll. Washes up great and decent steel for the price.
