  • A Cut Above: Affordable Quality in Every Slice
As someone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen, having the right tools is crucial for a pleasant cooking experience. The Mercer Culinary M22608 Millennia 8-inch Chef's Knife has quickly become a favorite of mine due to its durability, sharpness, and affordability. Right out of the box, the sharpness of this knife was evident. It made quick work of chopping onions, mincing garlic, and slicing through vegetables and meats with ease. The high-carbon Japanese steel construction is truly a game-changer. It has stayed sharp through multiple uses over a few months, which is something I've struggled to find in other similarly priced knives. The quality construction doesn't just stop at the blade. The handle is ergonomically designed, providing a comfortable grip even during lengthy chopping sessions. The textured finger points are a nice touch, ensuring a firm, non-slip grip. I have a collection of knives, some of which are on the pricier side. However, I find myself reaching for this Mercer knife more often. It's become a reliable workhorse in my kitchen. I love the fact that it's a high-quality knife that doesn't break the bank. If ever needed, replacing it won't be a financial setback, although, with the way it's holding up, I don’t see a replacement happening anytime soon. Cleaning is also a breeze. A quick hand wash, a rinse, and it's ready for its next use. The manufacturer advises against dishwasher cleaning, which is a small trade-off for maintaining the knife's performance. In a market flooded with overpriced knives, the Mercer Millennia 8-inch Chef's Knife stands out as a valuable, high-quality option for both professional and home cooks. It's a solid knife that performs well, is comfortable to use, and has a price point that makes it a smart buy. ... show more

  • Excellent bang for the buck
Great inexpensive knife. I did take a diamond sharpener (for knives) and round the top edges and the vertical edges by the handle. Inexpensive knife comparisons usually have the Victorinox right up there but I ordered and returned that because the blade finish looked so cheap it looked like it was made on the street in Mexico. Nice thin blade but not too thin. Handle is nice and grippy. Also makes a great back-up Chef knife. ... show more

  • 8" Chef's knife- I like the tall blade and the fact that my knuckles don't hit the cutting board
Update: We've had the 8" Chef's knife for just over two years. It's still my favorite knife, by far. I use it to clean and cut peppers, peel carrots, slice raw meat- almost everything. Okay- I use a serrated knife to cut bread. The staining problem has almost completely resolved by itself (I wish I understood why). I use a steel before about every 3rd use. I just check it first. I don't like a cast heel because after some years of use and resharpening the heel will wind up below the edge of the blade (as the blade gets slightly narrower from spine-to-edge) and it won't cut all the way through because the blade won't contact the cutting board. I bought another one for a friend. UPDATE: This blade stains easily. I have some knives I've owned for 20-30 years and they aren't stained. This one is stained after about four months (the pics show that, and I know they look like food particles, but they're stains). It's still sharp and still my go-to knife. Wow- inexpensive knife- it's sharp, and holds an edge. This is a lightweight knife. I like the tall blade and the fact that my knuckles aren't on the cutting board when I chop all the way down, as they are with shorter blades. We own a nice forged Henckel knife. It's fine, but it doesn't hold an edge like this Mercer knife and cost at least 4 times more. I will continue to use that knife for trimming meat, because the tall blade on this isn't going to maneuver as well. I cut a few items with it the day I got it, and it's razor sharp (probably the sharpest kitchen knife I have had). Yet, it seems to have a western edge angle (about 20 degrees), so it should hold the edge well. Seems to be fairly hard steel, to hold that edge, but not too hard, so it shouldn't chip. One key to maintaining sharpness is to wash and immediately dry it after each use. That prevents fine rust from forming on the blade edge. Another is to avoid scraping it sideways on the cutting board to collect chopped, or diced stuff. Turn it upside-down (blade facing up) to do that. It's broad enough to lay it on its side and scoop stuff, like a santoku knife. ... show more

  • A great knife, but a little bulky.
I have been using this knife for a year now, and can say that it is a wonderfully made kitchen tool. It cuts wonderfully, stays sharp, so basically it does its job well. My only complaint I have with this one is its size. An 8 inch knife is just a little bulky and impractical for me. If you are used to using knives of this size it might be just the thing for you, but if you are like me (not a chef), and are just looking for a kitchen knife, I would go with the Mercer 6 inch chef's knife. Both are good tools, but the 6 inch is much easier to handle. ... show more

  • Very good
Don't get offset by the cheap rubbery look of the handle. It feels really nice and heavy in real life, and cuts amazingly. Definitely worth the price

  • America's Test Kitchen wasn't wrong. 5 stars
The handle style reminded me of my old Ladvar knife. You know the 'entry level' beginner's culinary class knife. Everyone has one from decades ago and it still holds an edge. I have 'Laddy' sharpened all the time but the handle gets slippery when I'm breaking down a fatty boston butt or brisket. This knife is a close second to my Mac knife. This is the same size, but here's where its different: The handle has semi-soft flexible grips in it. Perfect for being held left or right handed. Comes from the factory razor sharp. Used a steel on it and it immediately sang. Weighs the same as the Ladvar, but the grip is where I fell in love. Easy maneuverability and washes up beautifully under a running tap. Seriously, don't leave this in a soapy sink for your hand to find it. You may come up with a finger missing. Perfect knife for all sorts of meal prep. Took a chance on this brand and I'm impressed. Will try other sizes and see if they impress me like this one did. ... show more
