A culinary school staple that punches well above its price. Grippy handle, nimble tip, and takes a sharp edge — all for well under $50.
Mercer is what culinary schools hand students on day one, and there's a reason for that — it's nearly impossible to beat at this price point for sheer usability.
“I'm partial to the 8-inch Mercer M21078. Takes a nice sharp edge, sturdy enough for chopping but the tip is still nimble, nice grippy handle.”
