Product Description
Mercer Culinary Genesis 6-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.
One of the handiest knives in the Genesis collection, this 6-inch chef's knife chops veggies, meats, and herbs with less weight and greater maneuverability than larger chef's models. A complement to the Genesis full-size chef's, 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

This is not a high-end knife, but it is for me, the perfect chef's knife. The rubberized grip is very secure, even with wet hands. The 6" blade length is what I feel most comfortable using day to day, even though 8" or longer blades are the standard. The thin profile is exceptional for fine slicing and dicing, and most of my time is spent on prep.
It's not flashy, but it is well made with a full tang and good steel that holds an edge (according to reviewers). It's stainless, not high carbon, and it will not impress anyone, but it is well suited to a kitchen and also very affordable. This is fortunate because my wife has already shown an interest in it... and I can see I'm going to have to buy another one!
For around the 50$ price range this knife is a great deal. The mosaic pins are a nice touch. I personally dislike the billboarding all over the blade (too many logos on the blade) and would prefer a more sleek and minimalistic design.
The reason why I have 4 stars instead of one is the wooden sheath, scratches the blade.
Other than that it's a great little pairing knife, good steel, full tang, nice handle material, and good ergonomics. Would buy again.
