Mercer Culinary Praxis Chef Knife with Rosewood Handle, 8 Inch, Wood

I gave this knife to my father as part of a larger gift of kitchen utensils. He is not at all kind to his knives (using them for non-food purposes, leaving them in the sink, rarely sharpening them, banging them up on other metal etc) and a broken or unusable knife isn't an unusual thing in his drawer. This knife has held up to all of that for three years and still looks good and cuts well. This is also a fantastic value (great quality, one piece steel with a good wooden handle for $25!)

Nicely made. Beautiful handle. Very sharp blade that cuts through things like citrus fruit like it was butter. Replacement for a similar knife that lasted through > 35 years of daily use and washing. I expect the same or better from this new knife. Quickly shipped. Well packed. Highly recommend. PS: Very pretty to look at.

The knife was sharp out of the box and works well for fine trimming and slicing.

Love this little knife. Great for simple around the kitchen tasks. Very sharp and stays sharp with a hone. I wouldn't put it in dishwasher (like any decent knife)

I would give this knife five stars if it were not for the fact that it is difficult to tell the sharp side from the dull side of the knife because of the shape. Otherwise the knife works well but it needs to be shaped more distinctive so that you can easily see the shape of the sharp side of the knife.

I’ve had this knife for some time now and it has stayed sharp. Good price and quality.

extremely sharp and easy to resharpen and the price is nice

fixed value !
