Pros

This knife has superb balance and a favorable weight. Perfect for fine work like mincing garlic. Well balanced, not too big.

The mercer renaissance chef's knife is a good workhorse with both prep and line work. It's difficult to find a 9 inch chef's knife; but, for me, it's the perfect length. If you're used to a more common 8-inch blade the difference can take a bit of get... Read More

Top of the line knifes in german and japanese style. Wusthof trident or henckels make the finest german knives. The partial bolster is great for a pinch grip.

Competitiveness

Much better than the other well know brand german knives

There is a clear difference on how messermeister finishes there blade edge vs wusthof

I suspect all elite chefs knives are a bit heavier than their counterparts by other brands or at least comparable henkles or wu... Read More
