Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Beautiful cutlery, flawlessly constructed from quality components. The knives themselves are fantastic and cut really well. They perform (and feel) like must more expensive knives. These are fantastic knives and beautifully displayed.

This is not only attractive, but it’s practical to boot. The wood is acacia and has a deep dark texture to it. The weight and construction is fantastic.

Delrin handles feel comfortable in hand, good grip. They feel great in the hand allowing for perfection in chopping, dicing, slicing and other chef-like task.

Brushed stainless base. The base stays upright with no problems, and the knives attach to it easily and quickly. If you are wondering how to get the cardboard out of the glass slide, unscrew the smooth tops of the pillars.

These are forged, full tang knives that are razor sharp out of the box and a pleasure to use. They stay sharper longer than any of my other knives. These are far sharper than your average kitchen knife, so use great care.



Cons

Also the knife slots are specific you can't relocate the knives to accommodate what you preference maybe for frequency of use. But the block is horrible. But worst off its put together like a grade school project.

43 and the 8” wustoff is 119

Packaging/appearance


The box was well packed and it was simple to set up basically remove cardboard insert blade sheathes and clean stuff


The knives are exceptional quality and super sharp right out of the packaging


The magnetic mount unlike the packaging is exquisite


Oddly enough the box that my magnetic board and knives came in stated on the outside that “knives are not included” but they were in there

Competitiveness


To compare we previously had a pampered chef brand with a plastic handle and the mercer is far superior


The attractive and modern storage block enhances them to be better than that typical solid slab of wood that must companies uses


I’m a knife freak to my surprise i’ve used the mercer knives more than any of the other brands that i have…especially the 8 inc...  Read More


Many chefs choose mercer although there are more expensive brands available
