I bought the Mercer on this channels recommendation, a few months back. It’s not only as good as you say it is, it’s a great spreader of butter and jam after you cut that crusty loaf. It also goes deep into a mayo jar. It really is a great deal on an excellent tool.

I’ve had the Mercer serrated knife for a few years and I love it! I’ve even bought it for gifts. It’s a must have.

Lisa, your videos are not only the gold standard for kitchen reviews, but are among the best review videos period!

Great info! It seems that Mercer is building a substantial reputation for delivering maximum quality for minimal cost, which they achieve by (a) not obsessing over so-called super steels in favor of steels that are good enough for the job at hand, and (b) manufacturing in Taiwan. I recently needed a 10" chef knife and immediately looked to Victorinox, but after a bit of searching I ran into the Mercer Renaissance which used the same steel but forged it rather than stamped it and it was $40 compared to $60 for the Victorinox.

I get Victorinox's price increases as they put in a lot of effort into excellent design and execution as well as capitalizing on their storied history and Western manufacture, but in so doing Mercer is taking over the space Victorinox used to occupy.

This is gold. Can't believe you summed everything up in 3 minutes. Thanks a ton. 🎉🎉🎉❤

Not sure if I have that exact one, but I do have a Mercer serrated knife and I really do like it!

Hmm, tried the Mercer, seems like the Victorinox steers better though and less wedging at times, feels like a more precise, clean cut, so overall better cutting experience.

I bought this one a year ago and it's amazing. Best purchase I've made in my kitchen

[UncleWill]

Purchased the Mercer after your last review. It’s fantastic.

[chumdog]

I love this knife! I use it for slicing bread and tonatoes.

[Spacecadet]

I got this knife the last time it was recommended here a few years ago, and its been a great addition. I agree for the price, its hard to find something better.

Had the Mercer for about a year, great knife and still incredibly sharp. Sliced off the tip of my thumb last week while cutting a bagel and barely noticed.

My favorite knife is a 5 in serrated knife from henkles . I have four and it’s the only knife I use for everything.

[roseythomas]

Absolutely the best! Glad I heeded your recommendation!

[Frizzenspark]

Our Mercer just arrived a couple days ago, based on a previous ATK recommendation. Lots of cooking planned for New Year's Eve, and we'll get our first trial of it.

My favorite wedding gift was a probably not very expensive Japanese knife set that included a chef's knife and a very decent serrated knife that meets all of your guidelines. That would have been 1996 and they are still as good as ever despite relatively inexpensive construction.

Interesting.
First time in nearly three years, that I've seen a company NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE of a great product, yet NOT start price gouging. Yep.
Love it. I'll be purchasing this knife for myself (or my son). 👍 😃 ✅

Thanks for the advice, Mercer has a great price on Amazon

[breakingchevelle]
