Mercer Culinary M23210 Millennia Black Handle, 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge, Bread Knife

5 Stars for the Mercer Culinary M23210 Bread Knife. Oh-where do I even begin with this serrated superstar? This knife doesn’t just cut bread; it performs a full-on Broadway musical number on your sourdough. With each slice, it sings, I’m gonna make you toast! and delivers clean, crumb-minimized cuts that would make a bakery jealous. The handle? It’s like shaking hands with a confident baker-firm, comfortable, and slightly flour-dusted (okay, that last part’s on me). I swear this knife has a PhD in ergonomics. It’s so easy to grip, I accidentally started slicing air just to keep the good vibes going. Now, let’s talk precision. This blade glides through crusty baguettes like a hot knife through… well, butter, obviously. I tried it on a loaf so dense it could’ve doubled as a doorstop, and it didn’t even blink. It just whispered, Challenge accepted, and left me with slices so perfect I considered framing them. Cleanup? A breeze. It’s dishwasher-safe, but I hand-wash it anyway because I’m convinced this knife deserves a spa day after its heroic feats. My only complaint? It’s too good. Now my friends expect artisanal bread platters at every potluck, and I’m running out of excuses to show off my knife skills. In summary, if you want a bread knife that’s part chef, part therapist, and part stand-up comedian, the Mercer Culinary M23210 is your guy. Buy it, love it, and maybe start a fan club.

Wow! I thought I would run my finger along the side of the blade an it accidentally sliced my finger a little. It's SHARP! I cut my bread right after I washed it and it cut my really super soft bread so nice, I didn't have to use my bread slicer to hold it in place. Now I really don't need to use my bread slicer. The great reviews are truthful. I definitely recommend this!

This is the one. Do yourself a favor and buy the 2” sheath for it too, well worth the money. I made the mistake of buying that stupid bow knife from TikTok and hated it. Buy the real knife. Just be careful because it’s sharp.

I discovered this knife watching America’s Test Kitchen on PBS and they never disappoint! This knife cuts through a thick crust just easily as it does through a soft stretchy roll. I was able to cut razor thin slices off my Amish white bread! There’s a nice heft, grip and weight to it. And the price, on point. I did end up purchasing a sleeve for it separately because it’s so nice.

I bought it just for cutting bread. It's very sharp, well balanced and easy to use. It doesn't leave any pesky crumbs behind. I did buy the Mercer 11" x 2" sheath to store it in because it is so sharp.

good quality, sharp knife. I gave it a 4 start because it does not come with a blade guard

This is a quality knife at an excellent price. It's well made and out of the package is well sharpened. It serves the purpose of bread cutting on many different types of bread, cutting quickly and you don't end up smashing the bread like you do with a less sharp knife.

This knife is great. It is so sharp and cuts just like you'd hope your bread knife would. A real bargain!
