Review: SHARP - Wow. Fed up with having blunt knives and decided to spend more on a hopefully decent one. Not disappointed, it is SHARP, can cut thin slices of tomatoes and lemon. Really nice feel and weight. Going to buy a smaller one from the same range. Why have I waited so long!?
Review: Very good value for a very well made product - Bought this and the Zwilling paring knives at the same time. This is a larger and rougher handle, and is heavier and more balanced to the handle. Either one will last a lifetime, and do the job. The Zwilling is two or three times the price of this, but they are of comparable quality considered as knives. The difference is a matter of taste and perhaps size of hands. I find this one's handle a bit too thick, but others may differ, and that and the extra weight are about the only substantial differences. They are both quality items, well made and finished. I would be guided by what you know fits better in the hand. If your budget is limited, don't think twice, get this one. It will do the job, last forever, and you will probably get used to the feel and weight of it very rapidly. An extravagant present with a brand name to match, the Zwilling fits the bill a bit better. But as said above, this is largely about taste. I also bought the Zwilling 16cm chefs knife, and like it very much - see separate review. I recently bought the Mercer similar 16cm chef knife for a different household. People might like to know how they compare. This size is not what professional cooks prefer, but for someone cooking in a home environment for a small number of people, it will be much better than the 20cm versions. Also the handles of these are much better than the more elegant looking two piece riveted handles, they fit the hand better and are pretty much totally non-slip. The Mercer is about half the price of the Zwilling. It has a similar handle. The blade is slightly deeper, and its definitely heavier. It apparently has a full tang, which the Zwilling may not. In sharpness and ease of sharpening they are probably about the same. Maybe the Zwilling is a bit harder and so takes a little more work to restore the edge. I slightly prefer the Mercer in this respect, but I slightly also prefer the Zwilling in the hand, to use. All in all I think, as with the paring knives, whichever you get you will get used to in a short time and not really notice the difference. The thing I would say about the paring knives is that the Mercer is a little bit shorter, and that makes it a bit less nice to use in some applications, so you end up using the chef knife more. But that's a minor quibble. Whichever pair you get (paring and chef) I think they will last a lifetime, so be guided by how important the pennies are. I continue to have a slight preference for the Zwilling, but if money is tight, buy the Mercers. They will last a lifetime and be a pleasure to use. I bought the Zwillings in the Christmas sales, well discounted, so the difference was not so great as it is now. Without the dscount I would have bought the Mercers and been very happy with them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long do these stay sharp for?**
A: Most importantly you must only ever use knives like this on a wooden or soft plastic (not glass !!) chopping board ,or you will ruin them very quickly. This is not a fault of the knife as this applies to all good quality knives .
This knife is made of very good quality steel  so will last a decent time before it needs sharpening, but this is obviously totally dependent on how often you use it  - it could be one day or one year.
The important point is not how long it will stay sharp , but to realize that good quality knives like this are meant to be sharpened as and when necessary . A ceramic  stone of some description is probably the best option for the inexperienced  , and a couple of light strokes will restore a razor like edge unless it has become extremely blunted,which you shouldn't really allow to happen in the first place . According to Mercier you should sharpen this knife at a 16 degree angle on each side.
If you intend to use good quality chefs knives of any make , you  must learn to sharpen them , as they are simply not designed to stay sharp for ever, but rather they are designed to be regularly sharpened. Those knives that are advertised to stay sharp forever are simply a gimmick , and you won't find one being used by any decent  chef on planet Earth. Sharpening a knife is a basic skill for any chef , and a good quality life is a lifelong investment.  As usual there are about a zillion YouTube videos on the subject.
   Hope this helps you
   ps  I don't want to sound condescending, but if you have never used a really sharp knife like this before , please be careful , as it could cause serious mutilation . You should never need to push a good chef's knife with much force - if you do it needs sharpening.  This is where the saying a sharp knife is a safe knife comes from - you should only ever be using it with a light touch,never forcing it,  meaning it shouldn't suddenly fly off and remove your finger .

**Q: Is this super sharp? Can anyone whos bought onw inform? Need a decent for chef work. Cheers**
A: Well to start you can make any knife sharp. Anyone who cooks should be able to sharpen their knives.  The difference between an expensive knife and a cheaper on is HOW LONG does it stay sharp. The better the knife the longer it will stay sharp. This knife is a good knife for it's price. Enjoy...I like mine.

**Q: What is the angle of the blade?**
A: Don't know about this particular knife,but I have a Mercer Genesis chef's knife which has a 16 degree sharpening angle. I found this out by emailing the company, so I am sure they will be able to tell you the sharpening angle for your particular knife.

**Q: What is the angle of the blade to sharpen it?**
A: 15 Degrees I think.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy 6” Chef’s knife, well balanced, good edge.
*by R***S on 2 May 2025*

The Mercer 6” Chef’s knife has a good edge, cuts well without bias, and feels balanced and comfortable in the hand. The absence of rivets in the handle is a great plus point for me. Hand wash it only, never ever in a dishwasher. The steel is good quality and if the claimed alloy has been used then it will keep its edge much longer than a more old fashioned blade. Always use a proper whetstone or sharpening steel to dress the blade. Out of the box it cut though a tomato under its own weight, one of the ultimate tests for how sharp a blade is. Trimming a steak was easy, fat and gristle were banished in a twinkling. I like this one.
