Review: Very nice product. - I very happy have this knife. Thx so much.
Review: I ordered this to replace an old Mundial full bolster western-style chef's knife which served me well for 20 years. Back then I paid around $50. So to see another quality, fully forged, German stainless steel knife for under $100, about half of a Wusthof or Zwilling of similar quality and features. Its worth every cent, and a good alternative to the similar but high-priced German equivalents. The Delrin handle is comfortable, water and bacteria resistant, the knife is kitchen certified, and is used extensively in culinary arts programs. A US company, German steel, and made in Taiwan. An equation that in this case, works splendidly. This is a very good alternative to the pricier knives, while retaining the best features of a western-style chef knife. Sharp out of the box, a nicely polished spine, and the bolster is not a full one, offering better comfort and control. Even the choil is not overly sharp on the grip, and the rivets and full-tang complete the package. A nice knife to use, and easy on the eyes too in its simplicity and smart design. This is German fully forged steel, full tang, semi bolster and true western profile for everything from rock-chopping to slicking to crushing garlic. Its a workhorse, and at this price, a no-brainer if you want western style, German steel knives for much less than some other, more well-established brands. You wont see these in stores, as the company prioritizes supplying culinary schools and restaurants/food service industry. That alone speaks for the quality and confidence in this US brand. If you want to stock up on industry-approved knives, this is it. You can't go wrong. Now, you certainly can pay more, even hundreds more, for another brand from another country (they are great too - don't get me wrong), but why? You simply do not have to. Get this.

## Features

- Great for culinary students and professionals alike
- Slices, chops, dices, and minces a large variety of ingredients with ease
- Shortened bolster makes sharpening easier by exposing the full blade
- Delrin handle is triple-riveted and includes an ergonomic design
- Taper-ground edge increases stability and efficiency

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these actually made in Germany? Does it say on the package? I've heard  they are made in Asia somewhere......**
A: they are not made in germany only the steel use in the knife its self is, it is assembled in Taiwan ( i just checked the side of the blade) they are great knifes i first got hooked on them from culinary school seeing all of our knifes in out kit were mercer and ive bought many more since. i also work in a kitchen so it is great having a sharp quality knife on hand, not to expansive just incase something may happen. with proper care mercer renaissance far surpases my wusthof knife set

**Q: Finish quality? I've read on-line that these aren't quite as finished overall as the more expensive German brands, specifically the spine is sharp.**
A: I have German made knives, using the best German steel and this 3.5" version is the  equal of any of them...  No sharp spine, beautifully ground and finished, sharp from the packaging, handles very well, etc...  Yes, made in Taiwan of exceptionally good German steel, and I will continue to buy these for now on.

**Q: how thick is the blade and how much does it weighs,please?**
A: The weight is 9.1 ounces so a bit over half a pound. The thickness of the blade is just a hair over  3/32” at its thickest point. Hope that helps! Love this knife by the way! You won’t be disappointed!

**Q: Is the knife blade very thick like typical German chef knife where you feel like it is wedging the food as it cuts instead of slicing through it?**
A: It is a great knife.  It slices but you need to hone your knife with a steel every so often..

Minha faca mais afiada. Comparando com uma faca Tramontina Santoku da linha Century (que é a linha top dela) que tenho, a Mercer é consideravelmente mais afiada. No teste de cortar papel, corta sem problemas. Acho bonita e bem balanceada também. Comprei ela há pouco, quando passar mais um tempo eu atualizo a durabilidade do fio dela.
