Mercer Culinary Genesis Forged 7" Black M20307

Great knife! High quality and sharp. Solid!

Muy buena calidad de cuchillos, creo que comprare mas tamaños y hacer mi colección de buenos cuchillos. El envío fue mas lento de lo esperado, mas sin embargo fue bueno.

As a chef, using it everyday for professional use, I have to say quality of the metal is not great. When you want to maintain a super sharp edge for precision cutting you need to keep sharpening it constantly. Doesn’t really hold its edge for very long. Maybe good for home use. Handle is awesome.

My go to knives...wish I had seen these sooner at a more reasonable price

So to start this review I would recommend this to just about anybody looking to buy a more budget friendly flexible boning/fillet knife. BLADE The steel is X50Cr15MoV and is similar in carbon content, and will perform alot like 420HC. This is actually one of the steels that Victorionox and Wusthof use. This will be extremely stain resistant and easy to sharpen, but I will not be doing that anytime soon because this came sharp as a razor. The only con of this is how the grind lines are still visible. Not a huge problem for me though. GRIP/ERGO The handle is a black rubber with slight texture that is not perfectly smooth to the touch, but will lock your hand in like a bear trap. It appears to be a full metal construction wrapped in the textured rubber. The blade will flex about 1/2 to a 3/4 of an inch sideways. The balance of the knife is about 1/2 an inch past where the black rubber wrap starts. The ergonomics are great. The handle may give you a slight blister after 4-5 hours of use, but how many of us actually use a fillet knife that long? The bolster on the backside of the knife is very grippy and will not let your hand slip out, the front on the other hand, is a little slick because it is made of that solid chunk of steel luckily it comes down to a 90 degree angle to still successfully stop your finger from going on a joyride around the kitchen, without you. PROS/CONS This knife very comfortable It doesn't break the bank Razor sharp Good looking Great Grip |_____________| The one and only con the is the visible grind lines on the blade *****/***** Stars!
