Millennia Color Handle Cutlery 6" Curved Boning Knife Brown

This is the third knife I’ve purchased from Mercer Culinary, following my Santoku and Chef’s knives—and I have to say, this bread knife is my favorite so far. It slices through bread effortlessly, like a knife through... well, bread! The serrated edge is razor-sharp, giving you clean cuts without tearing or crushing the loaf. The handle is ergonomic and comfortable, offering a secure grip even during longer prep sessions. Like other Mercer knives, it comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which adds real value. The build quality is top-notch—solid, well-balanced, and clearly made to last. Mercer has consistently impressed me, and I’d absolutely recommend their knives to anyone looking for professional-grade tools at a great price.

During the summer I purchased a pellet grill and immediately started experimenting with new cooking methods and preparation techniques. My wife was getting increasingly irked at my use of her expensive set of knives and frankly I wanted to pick up something that I didn’t have to worry about damaging or ruining in some way while learning. I had a one knife budget and wanted something that could do everything, after some research I realized a chef knife would fit the bill. I looked at several before deciding on this one, basically the cost of this knife plus a sharpener with good reviews was still about half of the next closest competitor. This knife also came in red which I liked as it was easily differentiated from my wives set. This this is the right size and shape and was delivered sharp. This knife seems to be a good weight and the grip is easy to hold even when wet. After sharpening this thing really shines though. It holds an edge exceptionally well and can sharpen to a scary edge. Using a quality sharp knife I have found it easy to trim my briskets and slice my vegetables. The shape of the blade lends its self well to both tasks. I ended up picking up a cake knife to accompany the chef in my arsenal as well as some quality sheathes for both to keep them safe in storage. Overall both knives are well made and a great value for the money. All told the two knives, the sheathes and the cheap sharpener still came in under the total cost of my wife’s chef. I think mine out preforms hers and I actually catch her going to mine if I’m not looking. For the price, go for it. These things are great quality at a fraction of the cost.

Mercer is a good Professional knife. This is an excellent sharp bread knife, carbon steel. The blade that can be sharpened easily but keeps a sharp blade for a long time. I perfer carbon steel over stainless steel. Keep the knife dry when putting it away will keep the blade perfect without rusting . The blade is thin but stiff and the price is very good. I am a wood carver and do 3 dimension cavings. My chisels are razor sharp to cut through wood, so handling knifes without getting cut has become "second nature". At the beginning I did get cut mostly by getting "too relaxed". With pratice you become relaxed but aware and focused when using this knife. Blades cut quickly and easily... a deep wound can bleed freely. However being sharp can also keep you from getting cut by not slipping. You can wear gloves that will prevent cuts when using knifes. Lots of perfessional cooks use them. Reviews with pictures showing people who got cut using this blade.

I learned about this knife on America's Test Kitchen - It is fantastic! It does come in many handle colors. Purple is designated for gluten free in a commercial kitchen (or at home if you have some who are gluten free and others who are not). It cuts through crusty bread like butter. It makes very few crumbs - unlike my other bread knife. Thoroughly worth the investment of a specialized bread knife!

These are razor sharp but they're a little bit thin. Great for bread work but not so much for cutting a lot of Crostinni's through baguettes. It is an awesome fresh bread sandwich knife for line cooking.... Not and all-day prep knife... But I really like it.

This is a great, budget friendly knife. The handle allowes for easy/great grip. The blade is sharp and cuts well. I use it to chop/cube (chilled/pre-frozen) boneless/skinless raw chicken and it cuts very well and easily. (I haven’t used it for veggies). Good value/choice for the price.

I bought this as recommended by the SourdoughGal and its a hit. It is really sharp and a great price.

Extremely sharp and well made.

I came across this knife via a review by American Test Kitchen on U-Tube. It is a fantastic knife which has made my life keenly more interesting, cutting home made brad that is. It works very well on soft tomatoes as well. I feel it will work for years to come/

Excellent beginner chopper for my daughter who is learning to cook and finds our best knives heavy and a bit intimidating.

Que faca lindona!!! Eu estou comprando tudo que é utensilio pra cozinha da minha cor favorita. 💜

Light, sharp and nice grippy handle.

This knife cuts bread well, but differently from other knives I've had. It's not like sharp sharp - I can't cut through a sheet of paper, and I'm not scared of it cutting my finger. If I run my finger on the blade it doesn't feel that sharp. I think it's the design, the scallops of the teeth that give it it's power. The first stroke it kind of skids a little unlike a knife with pointy serrations. But, wait for the second stroke, and it slices the loaf like butter. There are hardly any crumbs produced. I can cut a super thin slice with this thing. I love the 10" - the knife is always in contact with the bread. I was initially going to buy a more expensive Japanese bread knife but the reviews on this one were so good (and price) that I thought why not. And now I realize, all I need is this Mercer Millennia.
