There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I am not a professional chef but I do have a large family to feed and have been cooking for 8-10 people for over 30 years now, and when it's my turn to cook I make everything from scratch which usually means a lot of chopping, slicing, and dicing.
I was using an assortment of knives: Shun Ken Onion, Chicago Cutlery, and Henckels. Even though I like my other knives I've been looking for an entire new set of quality knives that match and have had this Mercer knife set and the Shun Ken Onion knife set on my wish list for over a year now. I was very close to buying the Shun knife set but I kept coming back to Mercer over and over and finally decided to buy it because of all the rave reviews from professional chefs and culinary students. One bad thing about the Shun, Ken Onion knives is that they can't handle being used daily without getting micro-chips on their blades.
As I said before these knives are sharp and strong and they look like they are exactly what I need, work-horses! The handle of this Genesis set is so comfortable to hold, my hand didn't feel fatigue as when using some of my other knives. I also love the case it came with, its really big, the knives are held in place very well and it has a few extra slots for additional knives. I don't really plan to use the case but I'll keep it just in case I have to travel with them. I purchase the Tojiro (magnetic) Knife Stand to use with this set and I am very happy with the how well it holds all my new Mercer knives!
I will update later to let you know how well these knives hold up to regular household use and my satisfaction level after using them for a few months.
A special shout out to the bread knife - super sharp and slices any bread with the ease!
I didn't really need a roll that came with the knives, but it was slightly cheaper to buy this set than to get all knives separately. I bought a wooden knife block from another brand that could fit all of these knives and few extra that I have.
First, I reduced my rating a half star for aesthetics and weight. These knives are a little too lightweight for my taste. I bought my son the Mercer Culinary Genesis 8-Inch Forged Chef's Knife last year, and that knife is amazing. The Millenia Chef's Knife in this set is quite nice and I use it often, but the Genesis knife has just enough extra weight and with the bolster it feels sturdier. Also, the Genesis' handles look nicer/more upscale.
Even so, the Millenia knives offer a secure grip and are well-balanced and easy to control.
However, I deducted a full star for quality control. Some of the knives are beautifully sharp - the boning knife in particular has an excellent edge and was a joy to use right out of the package. The sandwich knife is also sharp, which is good since it has a serrated edge. However, the 11" granton slicer knife arrived quite dull. The others were somewhere in between, but other than the slicer, they all arrived at least usably sharp. The good news is that the knives do take an edge. So, I kept the set.
This is a very complete set of knives, with honestly more knives than most people really need. At first I thought it was overkill to have both a Santoku and a Chef's knife in the set, but having both means I can use one for raw meat/poultry/seafood prep and one for veggie prep to avoid cross-contamination. This is my first Santoku knife, and the grantons really help when slicing foods like potatoes that tend to stick to the blade, so I use the Santoku a lot. Also, having a honing steel in the set is nice if you don't already have a good honing steel.
If you need to use the knife roll, then I have good news: it's great. It's made of heavy material, securely stitched, and has an adjustable carry strap. The knives are well-protected in there. I would expect it to last many years, even for a culinary student who has to carry knives around every day.
Like all fine knives, these must be hand washed. I do not put them in the dishwasher.
Summary: This set of knives is a good value for a culinary student or someone who doesn't have a lot of money to spend. (If you can't afford a whole set at once, you can buy just knives individually from Amazon here: Mercer Culinary Millennia 6-Inch Wide Boning Knife - just use the drop-down box to select the knife you want.) Hopefully my experience with getting some dull/less sharp knives in the set is a fluke. I plan to keep and use this set of knives until my second son moves out in a few years. Then I will get myself a Genesis set for the extra weight, the bolsters, and the styling.
