Mercer CulinaryMillennia 6 Inch Chef's Knife

Bought this after a cooking class I took where the chef was using one of these! He literally explained that it was a chef-quality knife for the best buck.

Great quality blade and handle. I have several of these in the knife drawer. Very happy with them.

Mercer’s “Millennium” series of kitchen knives are arguably the best performance/price ratio knives on the market.They’re always ground very thin for high-performance cutting and excellent functionality in the kitchen, the steel is quite basic and easy to grind/sharpen, though it will be (slightly) prone to burr formation because it’s somewhat soft/high-retained austenite, and the handles are very ergonomic, durable, and easy to clean.I would recommend these to everyone, from professional chefs to people who utterly abuse and neglect their kitchen knives. They don’t cost much, they cut very well, and they’re easy to maintain.Get one, get a few, they’re very good kitchen knives.

Best value for the price!

Perfect size like I hoped. Arrives sharp so be careful! Quality steel and easy to clean. Handle feels good in the hand and is non-slip. Blade thickness is just right for slicing and cutting. I like this tool for performing Chef’s knife duties without big knife cleanup.

Don't waste your money on the high-end knives out there unless you want to brag and impress your friends. These work great, are super sharp, and feel wonderful in your hands even if they are wet.

I love this knife. Nice fit in my hand and it's sharp.

My most often reached for kitchen knife is not an 8" chef's, although, I would recommend that as an essential starter purchase before other knives including this one.What a great and nicely sized knife this is. Perhaps it doesn't need to be as "tall" as it is (blade to spine at the heel), but I love it. A great go to size for slicing/chopping veggies or whatever. Such a grippy, easy to hold handle too. It's not heavy and feels well balanced. No issues yet from dishwashering it, although I believe the manufacturer says not to. Like I said, it's a new favorite.Just beware (I mean it!), this knife is razor sharp and it will be so easy to slice fingertips off. Go slow getting used to the feel of cutting with it.
