Mercer Culinary Millennia 10-Inch Wide Bread Knife

The best ever! If I could give it 100 stars I would. I have been baking all my life, all kinds of bread, but this knife cut through crusty French bread as it it were butter. I could make thin slices and thick. Never have been able to do that before. Totally astounding. Seems sturdy, comfortable in the hand, wonderful leverage, obviously sharp, and very budget friendly. Very happy customer.

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;)

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

Exceptional value. Works much better than bread knives costing many times more than this. The grip is very secure and the edge does not skitter over top of very crusty bread. Cuts through cleanly and efficiently. Knife is not too thick and heavy or too thin. It really is the perfect bread knife and the best one I have ever tried. Very satisfied with it, to say the least. Highly recommended.

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!
