Mercer Culinary M22003 , Stainless Steel, Black, 3.5-Inch Paring Knife

I have had this bread knife for a couple of months now, and it's one of the most pleasing purchases I've made in recent years. I read a lot of customer reviews of various knives before buying this and the general concensus that it's a good one were correct.I bake my own bread and wanted a good knife to make the most of my limited baking skills. This one surprised me firstly by how large and heavy it is, secondly by how easliy it cuts, even when making thin slices. It's got a good thickness to the blade, so it does not bend or flex and I cannot over stress just how sharp it is. The weight of the knife is more than I anticipated and another good feature of it, making it cut effortlessly. The handle at first glance looks large, but I have found it to be an exceptionally good grip, which is enhanced by the excellent texture of it. I doubt I shall ever need to replace this knife, but if I do, it will be with another one of these. I cannot speak to wither or not it is dishwasher proof as I don't have a dishwasher, but given the materials of it and the quality of construction, I cannot see any reason it would not be. If you are looking for a bread knife, to use each day, as I do, I believe you will be as happy with this one each time you use it, as I am when I take mine out of the kitchen drawer each morning and use it on my loveley homemade loaf.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Its very good knife, my first better than from the block chef knife. Its not super comfy in my hand but i have no idea if any other would be better. Its kinda course sharpen from factory but again im not an expert. For the price its perfect as first knife.CAUTIONI alredy chopped my fingertip, be carefull and always prepare before using your knife.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Best knife for cutting bread, purchased in 2020 and although its now not as good as when we first purchased it, it's still going strong. We may purchase a second one as its struggling a bit with soda bread. Can also very used to cut up meat. Price wise I think its a good buy

We bought this for our Christmas Turkey. Very reasonable price for the quality. Easy to clean. Just bear in mind it's very long so storing it in your cutlery drawer is not an option!

Brilliant product, I use it every day, it's also very sharp which is definitely a positive for this paring knife.Would without hesitation recommend this knife, very light to handle at a great price! Thanks again eBay, very pleased!

Sharp, perfect for slicing fresh bread and rolls, an exceptional product

Sharp cuts bread well, dose what it should. It's fine.

Just right for doing the veg. Excellent
