Product Description

Mercer Culinary Genesis 10-Inch Forged Chef's Knife

Amazon.com

A supplier to the vast majority of cooking academies, Mercer Cutlery offers the Genesis Collection of kitchen knives to provide professional quality to the home chef. Comfortable, durable, and efficient, Genesis knives feature fully forged, single-piece blades made from high-carbon, no-stain German steel. Their taper-grind edges are polished by hand, and their substantial bolsters provide helpful balance. Black nonslip Santoprene handles make Genesis knives comfortable and secure in the grip, improving efficiency and safety in the kitchen.

Sized up for big jobs, this Genesis 10-inch chef's knife makes quick work of slicing thick cuts of meat and dicing mounds of onions. With its elongated blade and substantial weight, it is a good choice for dedicated cooks with large hands. A complement to the Genesis carving and santoku knives, the piece is made in Taiwan using European components and technology. It should be washed by hand for best results and carries Mercer's one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Awesome knife

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2023

Size: 10" Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

I used to work in kitchens and I still cook alot for guests and friends. This knife feels good. The handle has a nice non-slip coating that feels like a dense, texured non slip mat. It's also a nice shape. I originally thought the handle might be too small but it's pretty balanced. There is a little bump just on the top underside of the handle that feels like a left over from the manufacturing process. I thought about removing it but I decided to just ignore it.

The blade itself has a good weight. You don't get tired using it. It's also wide enough so when you press down on the back of the blade with your palm for more force it doesn't dig in.

As an added bonus, when you pick it up it feels like a tool. It doesn't feel like a posh, name brand, "proressional" foody, forged Damascus show piece that lives in some sort of hermetically sealed, ancient oak knife block.

It's a good knife, if you need a good big knife. I guess that all in trying to say.

And to the people complaining about it holding its edge... Get a honing rod.

Bought this to replace my workhorse ten inch Forschner chefs knife that is forty years old. Surprisingly good quality for the price. Extremely sharp and holds an edge. Well balanced with comfortable handle. Good weight, forged blade. The knife is way bigger than ten inches, but that is not a disadvantage. Happy with my purchase.

This is a very very sharp knife so you need to be careful when handling it. I highly recommend keeping it in its cover when not in use. It’s also a really great knife. You won’t be disappointed if you purchase it!

Poor man's Wusthof classic in other words AWESOME value for the performance you get

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013

Size: 10" Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

This is an excellent high quality German steel forged chef's knife. Sure, it's put together in Taiwan but the materials used are quality. I cook a lot and I can tell you that the more you use it the more you love it. For me the only two knives I seem to use now are this knife and the Mercer Genesis Santoku and NOTHING else, save the occasional paring knife for peeling. Balance is excellent and the material in the handle is easy to grip even after all kinds of gunk gets on it. As long as you keep the knife honed it performs admirably. I like the length of the 10", for some it's a little too long but for me it works great and allows you to cut long vegetables lengthwise with ease. All in all this is a great bang for your buck knife and I can't recommend it enough. Those with smaller hands may opt for the 8" version. My wife says this knife is too large and always reaches for the Santoku which is another excellent knife.

(Minus one hand; minus one star.)

The damn thing cut my hand clean off. I was drunk, doing poses in my kitchen with it, and got a little too cocky, I guess. Major props to the weight, balance, and sharpness right out of the box. Beautifully made, too, for a cheaper knife. Was expecting the rubber grip to peel away instantly, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Not quite sure why I ordered the 10" one, though. 8" should do just fine for you.

Just don't get too cocky with it!

This is the knife I bought the guard for, I like having protection on my very sharp knives. So I got the guard for it on the same order. I’m very happy with my purchase. I do a lot of cooking and there’s nothing better than a good quality sharp knife.

I just bought my fifth Mercer Culinary knife (a flexible boning knife)

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2020

Size: 10" Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

I'm a home cook, long-time retired, my many hobbies fill my days with fun, focus and friendship.
I was ten-years-old when I fried my first dozen of frogs legs, and twelve years old when I baked my first loaf of bread (bannock) over an open fire.
Baking and Cooking provide me meditative calm weekly and daily respectively.
In 2018 I began replacing my sixty-year-old German made kitchen knife set. New, it had cost more than a week's salary. The knives never held an edge very well.
My first replacement was my chef knife with a Mercer Culinary Renaissance Santoku blade. I purchased it, with some skepticism because of its modest price. Within the first week's daily use my skepticism was gone. Since the n I've purchased a bread knife, two boning knives (including today's purchase), and a 10" Genesis chef Knife. I purchased this knife to facilitate one-draw slicing of beefsteak tomatoes, fish fillets, homemade summer sausages, etc.. I've used it frequently for one month with 100% satisfaction.
I test the sharpness of my knives following each use. I have never had to do more than a brief honing on a leather strop to regain their razor sharpness.

Love it!!

Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2020

Size: 10" Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

I bought this knife cause I like cooking at home. I'm not a professional even thought I took some culinary classes years ago. Be Aware! Very sharp knife out of the box!! Cut a finger tip pretty bad while cleaning it for the first time. I was probably just to exited to use it for the first time.

Good balance, good grip, blade long enough so you don't need to lift the tip of the knife from your cutting board to cut small to medium size vegtables or fruits.

Cleaning is easy (not for dishwasher). I love this knife so much that I just bought an other one but an 8" blade for my wife who's scared of the 10" blade.
