Mercer Culinary Millennia Colors 6-Inch Curved Boning Knife, Blue

This is the third knife I’ve purchased from Mercer Culinary, following my Santoku and Chef’s knives—and I have to say, this bread knife is my favorite so far. It slices through bread effortlessly, like a knife through... well, bread! The serrated edge is razor-sharp, giving you clean cuts without tearing or crushing the loaf. The handle is ergonomic and comfortable, offering a secure grip even during longer prep sessions. Like other Mercer knives, it comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which adds real value. The build quality is top-notch—solid, well-balanced, and clearly made to last. Mercer has consistently impressed me, and I’d absolutely recommend their knives to anyone looking for professional-grade tools at a great price.

Holds an edge fairly well and requires little maintenance besides a little honing steel from time to time. Handle is comfortable and blade arrived razor sharp. I do a lot of barbecuing, and this is perfect for trimming briskets and slicing ribs.

This Mercer Culinary Millennia produce knife is excellent! The 6-inch blade is sharp and precise, making it perfect for cutting fruits and vegetables with ease. The handle is comfortable, provides a secure grip, and the green color makes it easy to identify in the kitchen. Great balance, durable construction, and very affordable for the quality. A fantastic addition to my kitchen tools!

During the summer I purchased a pellet grill and immediately started experimenting with new cooking methods and preparation techniques. My wife was getting increasingly irked at my use of her expensive set of knives and frankly I wanted to pick up something that I didn’t have to worry about damaging or ruining in some way while learning.I had a one knife budget and wanted something that could do everything, after some research I realized a chef knife would fit the bill. I looked at several before deciding on this one, basically the cost of this knife plus a sharpener with good reviews was still about half of the next closest competitor. This knife also came in red which I liked as it was easily differentiated from my wives set.This this is the right size and shape and was delivered sharp. This knife seems to be a good weight and the grip is easy to hold even when wet.After sharpening this thing really shines though. It holds an edge exceptionally well and can sharpen to a scary edge. Using a quality sharp knife I have found it easy to trim my briskets and slice my vegetables. The shape of the blade lends its self well to both tasks.I ended up picking up a cake knife to accompany the chef in my arsenal as well as some quality sheathes for both to keep them safe in storage.Overall both knives are well made and a great value for the money. All told the two knives, the sheathes and the cheap sharpener still came in under the total cost of my wife’s chef. I think mine out preforms hers and I actually catch her going to mine if I’m not looking.For the price, go for it. These things are great quality at a fraction of the cost.

very sharp. used for cleaning fish

What a great knife to have for helping with the butchering process of poultry. I definitely would recommend this knife to anyone considering purchasing it. It works great, fits comfortably in the hand, is easy to use, cuts very well, and is very durable.

These Mercer Culinary knives are comfortable to use, sharp, and highly rated by culinary pros. This model comes in different handle colors if you want to color-code for meat, fish, vegetables, etc.--or just want to easily find your knife among a drawer of others. They are nicely weighted. I use this Santoku knife daily as my main chef's knife.

I did some research and know this is a choiced brand of knife restaurants/factories purchases in bulk for their longevity, quality and reasonable low price.-Metal is medium thickness. Not thin not too thick. It's great. Doubtful the tang will ever snap in half.-It has a knife factory sharpness and coupled with the curved shape, it makes cutting things dangerously easy. Minimal back and forth motion is needed thanks to the diagonal shape. I can see why it's a favored shape of knife for people that separates flesh in the daily basis.- Be careful with the tip. It punctures flesh way too easily.- The grip is made from good rubber. It actually does help prevents slippage.Overall this is a fantastic buy.
