Mercer Culinary M22707 Millennia Black Handle, 7-Inch Granton Edge, Santoku Knife

I absolutely love this knife. I bought it because I was using the bread knife that come from the kitchen utensil set and they are terrible when it comes to cutting a good slice of sourdough bread. It's light, cuts through bread with ease; and has a blunted tip for safety and easy to use and clean with a quick rinse and wipe. It has a nice grip for the handle and a very nice sharp blade for ideal slice of bread. It's a great quality bread knife for a great price.

Really good knife for the price. I bought this expecting “decent for the money” and got “why is this cutting better than some of my fancy knives?” The wavy edge goes through crusty bread without crushing the inside into a sad pile of crumbs. Bagels, sourdough, soft sandwich bread—it doesn’t care. It just slices clean and moves on with its day. The handle is comfortable, grippy, and doesn’t feel like it’s going to launch itself across the kitchen mid-cut. It’s lightweight but solid, which is a nice balance when you’re doing a lot of slicing. No, it won’t impress your guests with a dramatic forged-in-a-mountain-of-fire story. But it will quietly and efficiently do its job every single time. For the price, this knife is an absolute workhorse.

Great knife and VERY SHARP! The knife was very difficult to remove from packaging and I got sliced in the process. BE CAREFUL! It cuts bread very well with minimal effort. Highly recommended.

I've been a home cook for more than 30 years. I've got a few dozen kitchen knives of all sizes, profiles, and makes. (Wusthof, MAC, Global, Miyabi, Shun, etc......) I received this Mercer Culinary kitchen knife as a gift about a year ago, and for just about every cutting, chopping, slicing task on a cutting board, this is the knife I most often grab. Comfortable grip, easy to use, very easy to keep a razor sharp edge, and if it gets damaged in any way, very inexpensive to replace. Excellent line of knives at the right price !!

The Mercer Culinary Millennia 10-Inch Wavy Edge Bread Knife is a standout performer that rivals far more expensive blades. From the moment you pick it up, the ergonomics feel right. The textured handle offers a secure, non-slip grip, and the contouring fits naturally in the hand, giving you confidence and control whether you’re slicing delicate pastries or tackling thick, crusty loaves. It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, and the balance between handle and blade makes long, even slices feel almost effortless. The blade sharpness is immediately noticeable. The wavy serrations bite cleanly into tough crusts without ripping through the softer interior. Artisan sourdough, bagels, sandwich bread, tomatoes, cakes, and melons all slice cleanly with minimal pressure. Mercer’s steel holds its edge surprisingly well, especially given the affordability of the Millennia line. The wide blade profile adds extra stability, helping maintain straight, consistent cuts—a feature typically found in higher-end bakery knives. Packaging is straightforward and secure, protecting the blade during shipping while keeping things simple and functional. Out of the box, the knife is ready to work. The only downside is the universal challenge of sharpening serrated knives; it requires either a specialty tool or a bit of technique. Fortunately, the wavy edge holds up longer than many comparable blades, so sharpening isn’t a frequent concern. Where this knife excels is in value. It performs on par with bread knives costing several times more, making it an exceptional addition for home cooks, professional kitchens, bakers, and anyone who appreciates a reliable, sharp, and comfortable tool. Its versatility also stands out—this knife handles everything from bread to produce to soft-skinned items with ease. Pros • Exceptionally sharp wavy edge cuts cleanly without crushing • Comfortable, slip-resistant handle with great ergonomics • Lightweight and well-balanced for long slicing motions • Wide blade provides stability and cleaner cuts • Outstanding value compared to premium bread knives Cons • Sharpening serrated edges requires practice and the right tool The Mercer Millennia 10-Inch Bread Knife delivers impressive cutting power, ergonomic comfort, and long-lasting performance at a price that makes it one of the smartest upgrades you can make in the kitchen.

Really well built bread knife. Great balanced weight with the handle and blade length. Really nice grip on the handle as well. Great value and the blade is plenty sharp . Price is a clear winner as well! Well done!

This does so much more than slice bread. I find it to be superior to most slicers and carving knives (and even electric knives) when slicing a roast, smoked brisket, turkey breast, etc. It's good for slicing large tomatoes. After my chef's knife this is the one I use the most. I've had it for five years and it still hasn't dulled. But when it does get dull, no big deal. A new one is inexpensive.

I love the quality of Mercer knives. So far, it's at a reasonable price. The restaurant I used to work for uses Mercer knives; some Chefs and Cooks would still bring their own arsenal, but it doesn't matter if you have the most beautiful or the most expensive set of knives, if you don't know how to take care of the knives, it will be the dullest knife or you will totally messed up your knives and it will be unusable. For this knife I purchased, I am pleased with the quality and how sharp it is to this day. It is easy to use, lightweight, and the handle is good. Blade size is also good, and it came with a clear plastic sheath.

It really good and sharp that great for the price

皮引き用に買ってみたら良かった。

I was skeptic at first whether I would get a proper bread knife that professional culinary school and restaurants used for their daily prepping task. I had this light weighted Japanese stainless steel bread knife that came included in a knives set. Remember guys, any set of knives in a bundle are usually in poor quality. Anyway, the regular bread knife couldn't cut thin slices of bread without puncturing a hole in the middle or shredding off of corners of the crust from each slice of bread evenly.... So the finished product ended up with unevenly cut corner of the bread which makes it toasted unevenly in the oven. After an extensive researching on reviews from Amazon and on Youtube videos. I finally pull the trigger and order one to test out if it matches my expectation. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the knife as the grip of the handle was made of rubber which feels ergonomic to the touch. There's some heft to it too. As I slice my first piece of bread, it glides in gently like cutting through butter with minimum effort and force. It didn't crush the loaf of bread as I press the blade on top of it during the cutting process. It had few little crumbs too! It cuts the corner of the bread without shredding or crushing it as I cut into thin slices. The cheap regular one does the job just fine but it couldn't cut the bread to thin slices without shredding it but no problem with thicker slices... With the nice proper bread knife, I feel I'm in complete control of cutting the size I want without the fear of jeopardising the final product. Overall satisfaction is 10/10. Hopefully, it will stay sharp in the years to come...

Great bread knife!
