M23112 Millennia Black Handle, 12-Inch Wavy Edge, Slicer

Let me start with this, I fully recognize this is designed for cake. I think it would do a good job of shaping and cutting cake and think it would do a good job at this. I specifically purchased this to accompany my 12 in Mercer chef to fill the gaps that the chef just didn’t do as well. This thing fits the bill! For the price this knife is all I could ever ask for. The length is perfect for slicing perfect brisket slices and is very sharp! Similar knives that aren’t half as well made sell for 4-5x’s the amount. I would recommend this knife to anyone.

I had the 10 inch Mercer wavy edge bread knife for several years, but needed a long blade for the bread slicing guide that I bought for consistency in my artisan sourdough bread slices. This is the perfect length for the job. Plus the wavy edge Mercer knife is the best knife I have ever used to slice artisan sourdough. I am so pleased with the knife and know that I will get years of use from it. I do take extra care with my knives in washing and caring for them.

I really like the mercer knife, perfect for bread

I bought this knife originally for my husband to cut his bbq meats. We didn’t use it much for that purpose. However, I have recently discovered it sliced through my sourdough bread wonderfully! I almost always hand wash and dry immediately. I purchased in 2020 and it is just like new. I’ve used it the most in the past few months.

When ever I purchase something, I intend that I will get a reasonable product for the money I spend. This does not always work, especially when shopping online. In this case, I am pleased to report that this bread knife, is a welcome addition to my kitchen. I had bought a bamboo bread slicing guide which necessitated the purchase of a longer knife. This one is perfect for the job. Reasonable quality, and the handle feels like it will last a good while.

My 3rd Mercer knife. Great grip and cutting-edge

I got this in January and have never sharpened it!!! I work at a high volume restaurant and bought this one for work. In 4 1/2 months all I have had to do is use my honing steel 2-3 times a week and it’s still sharp enough to shave hair off my arm!!! 😳😳😳Holy edge retention Batman!😳😳😳 It’s well balanced, has a good weight, and has been comfortable for me to use for shifts lasting 8-12 hours. It has become the go-to knife I find myself preferring to either of my two previous favorites.

Four years later this knife is as sharp as when I bought it. It still cuts through bread like butter. I have gotten the most value out of this knife than any other bread knife I have purchased. The first day I used it on a bagel and it sliced so much easier than any serrated knife it cut a large gash into my fingers. I learned my lesson that day, but if I am not careful it could easily happen again. I have never needed to resharpen this knife, even with 4 years of daily use. That is how sharp this knife is. Be careful, you might need to change how you use this knife compared to the massive amount of dull serrated knives sold in stores. Keep in mind I take gentle care of all my knives and protect their edge from corrosion. Some tips I have picked up over the years: hand wash all knives, never put them in the dishwasher. If you cut something acidic, wipe off the acidic residue immediately, and wash as soon as you are finished cutting something acidic. Wipe off water as soon as you finish cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaning soaps or cleaning tools. These simple things have kept most my knives sharp as the day I bought them. Putting a new edge on a knife never seems to work as well as the original factory perfect edge, so I try to extend the life of the edge indefinitely.

I bought this knife to use with a bamboo wood foldable bread slicer. I didn't realise how hard it would be to find a knife long enough to be able to use with it. My previous bread knife, a pretty much standard length of 7 to 8 inches was about an inch too short to allow it to go through both rails on the bamboo bread slicer. The blade length of this Mercer is roughly 12 inches long . The blade is the perfect length needed to use with the bread slicer.. It cuts perfectly without squashing the bread. I can easily use the knife without the slicer as its so sharp and cuts perfectly straight even when cutting thin slices. I have only used it on bread as that's what I bought it for but I'm sure it would be perfect for carving meat etc if needed. The blade is really nice and thick too, it just feels excellent quality and I'm so happy that I bought it. I paid less than £18 and think this is fantastic value for such an excellent knife. Highly recommended.

Es el cuchillo perfecto para cortar pan, bollos o verduras blandas de piel dura como el tomate. ¿Y por qué es tan bueno? ¿Qué lo hace diferente del resto? Fundamentalmente el tipo de arcos de sierra, cuantos menos tenga y menos pronunciados mejor corta. El mango es ergonomico y no se escapa de las manos. Eso si, mi modelo parece mas una espada que un cuchillo, seguro que en un armario normal no cabe. Aún así, si quieres la mejor calidad y funcionalidad este es tu cuchillo, ademas no es nada caro.

Très efficace et bien fini

Bought this after a debacle with a shorter knife and the so-called SimpleSlice device. This knife is sharp. Really sharp. It cuts through bread just like a knife should an I was always taught. You move it back and forth and it does the cutting, no pressure needed. Let the blade do all the work. In fact, its so good its rediculously easy to use. I do not put mine in the dishwasher by the way, I'm told this is bad for sharp knives. It's easy to clean though, usually a quick rinse or at worse (when I mess up my bread making and get a doughy sticky mess) a gentle scrub with the brush does the trick.

Good boning knife, used for first time yesterday and nice and sharp and easy to use.
