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.
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.

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.

Excelente para un cuchillo de batalla y/o opción económica pero de buena calidad.
Ojo, varía muchisimo de precio y luego está demasiado caro para lo que es, esperen a comprarlo cuando esté abajo de $400
