Mercer Culinary Millennia 10-Inch Wide Bread Knife

Cheap looking packaging that was difficult to extricate the knife. However, knife itself was a joy to use and intricately sharp, clean swift cuts of fragile items without bruising or crushing. Hopes it stays thais way for a decently long period. Am only going to use softer wood cutting board instead of my favourite non-wood sloped board with side draining that unfortunately is hard on my other knifes and need to be honed very frequently. Hope to help it stay that way as I don't know how to sharpen or hone serrated blades.

The best bread knife ever, I loved it. It cuts off sourdough bread easily, which is hard to cut if you know what I mean;)

This knife is serrated, sharp and cuts through crusty sourdough bread easily with no effort. The blade and the heavy duty handle are in balance. Excellent knife at an affordable price.

Corta perfecto las cortezas de pan rústico! Muy filoso. Me hubiera encantado que incluyera un protector.

I have purchased many bread knives over the years, always trying hard not to spend a fortune on any particular knife, sadly this has proved to be a false economy though, if I'd known what I know now, I would have just saved up and bought a far better knife the first time, hindsight can be a wonderful thing! What I can say about this purchase is that, thus far, I am very impressed! Yes, it's certainly not the cheapest, but saying that, it's also far from being too expensive. I have used it to cut very fresh, artisan bread and it has coped very well. Applying very little pressure and sawing away, sliced the bread evenly and as thinly as I wanted, without destroying the loaf! I like the extra length to the blade than all previous bread knives I've used. It feels well balanced too and obviously, nice and sharp. Even though this is strictly a bread knife, I actually tried it to carve a roasted joint of beef and it sliced that nice and thinly, an excellent result! Some other reviews have mentioned not liking the texture of the handle, but I don't have any issues with that at all. I pop mine in the dishwasher and it appears to be holding up well. I would say, considering the price paid for this bread knife, it is well worth buying, I am very impressed! Hopefully it will last, only time will tell, but certainly the best value bread knife I have ever bought and I've had quite a few!
