Genesis 10-Inch Stainless Steel Forged Chef's Knife, Black

The Mercer Culinary Genesis 10-Inch Stainless Steel Forged Chef's Knife is a high quality and reliable kitchen tool. The blade is made of German cutlery steel, which is known for its durability and resistance to rust, corrosion, and discoloration. The precision forging ensures strength and longevity while the taper-ground edge ensures sharpness and efficiency when cutting.  The ergonomic Santoprene handle provides superior comfort and a non-slip grip, even with wet hands. Additionally, the bolster strengthens the knife and adds to the balance when using it. This knife has also been certified by NSF for safety, quality, and performance standards.  I highly recommend the Mercer Culinary Genesis 10-Inch Stainless Steel Forged Chef's Knife for any home cook looking for a high-quality knife that will last for years.

Bought this 10" chef's knife and same brand filleting knife for my father, a retired chef of 50 years. He'd been using his last set of work knives at home following retirement and some eventually needed replacing. Significantly cheaper than the knife it replaced, he was none the less impressed by it. Apparently German carbon steel, forged in China. But I have the feeling he would still go for a French/German/British knife if buying again for work.

I bought this for my husbands 40th birthday. He likes to cook and wanted to have a decent knife that would last him for years. He is really happy with it and is already looking to buy more sizes in the range

I never leave reviews as life is too short for all that but this knife is awesome. I am a very keen cook but didn’t want to spend £100’s on a knife Ai took a chance with this. It is easily and by far the sharpest knife I have ever used. A real pleasure to work with. Only didn’t give it 5 stars because something this sharp should come with a cover ..

Absolute value for money, such a good knife, sharp and well balanced

Sharpest knife we've ever owned!

I use this knife all the time, it's comfortable and holds the edge better than other more expensive knives I've used in the past, I'll be getting more Genesis knives as the grip , balance and blade are perfect, that's not even mentioning the value price!

Good quality knife.

I used to work in kitchens and I still cook alot for guests and friends. This knife feels good. The handle has a nice non-slip coating that feels like a dense, texured non slip mat. It's also a nice shape. I originally thought the handle might be too small but it's pretty balanced. There is a little bump just on the top underside of the handle that feels like a left over from the manufacturing process. I thought about removing it but I decided to just ignore it. The blade itself has a good weight. You don't get tired using it. It's also wide enough so when you press down on the back of the blade with your palm for more force it doesn't dig in. As an added bonus, when you pick it up it feels like a tool. It doesn't feel like a posh, name brand, "proressional" foody, forged Damascus show piece that lives in some sort of hermetically sealed, ancient oak knife block. It's a good knife, if you need a good big knife. I guess that all in trying to say. And to the people complaining about it holding its edge... Get a honing rod.

Sensacional, melhor faca que já tive.

I bought this knife cause I like cooking at home. I'm not a professional even thought I took some culinary classes years ago. Be Aware! Very sharp knife out of the box!! Cut a finger tip pretty bad while cleaning it for the first time. I was probably just to exited to use it for the first time. Good balance, good grip, blade long enough so you don't need to lift the tip of the knife from your cutting board to cut small to medium size vegtables or fruits. Cleaning is easy (not for dishwasher). I love this knife so much that I just bought an other one but an 8" blade for my wife who's scared of the 10" blade.

Wish I could return it,but I can’t. This knife looks sturdy as it is heavy but dull as hell. Sharpening it doesn’t work, the blade is super thick. Junk junk junk plane junk
