Nice and sharp and perfect size for easy handling.

Have many good and more expensive knives but somehow always reach for the 6” inch Merced. Handle like a utility and paring knife for prepping, cut like a chef’s knife, thicker tang on the back and top makes chopping possible. So versatile, unbelievable handling and sharp out of the box. If I can only own one knife it would be this one.

Beautifully designed.
Perfectly balanced with a pinch grip. The handle is long enough to grip with a full hand fit cutting through cheese, large carrots, etc. Handle is nicely textured and provides a no-slip grip even when wet.
This has quickly replaced my 8" chefs knife as my daily driver.
My new favorite in a block full of top shelf cutlery.

Great quality steel that takes and keeps a razor edge. The soft rubber handle is easy for my arthritic fingers to hold. I am very pleased with this purchase.

It feels good in your hand. I believe it is made with German steel. It is easy to put a razor sharp edge on it. Holds it’s edge for a long time with regular honing. I have six Mercer knives along with my Shun knives . Highly recommended

Great knife. Very sharp and feels really good in the hand. Very happy with purchase.

I have wasted so much money on knives that are now just decorating my knife board. This one is perfect! Love the handle, the weight, the overall feel…was so happy I sent a couple as gifts. Very sturdy, yet nimble for detail cuts. Also have a smaller Mercer knife with the same handle material – definitely a plus when working with wet or greasy items. Buy one – you'll love it!

I'm a chef and prefer 8" knives for work, but at home where the scale of production is less and my cutting boards are smaller, a 6" does the job better.
The handle fits my large glove sized hand well. The grip is non-slip and stays in the hand even with wet slippery hands.
This is great steel at an amazing price. The blade remains sharp with only using a steel for maintenance so far. No noticeable chips developing.
The only negative thing is knife covers. Ultra cheap knives come with nice form fitting vented covers and nice quality knives don't. The knife sleeves that Mercer sells separately are okay but not great and they want $4 for the piece of plastic when a $8 knife comes with a nicer cover.
Kindle Customer (verified owner) –
For years I felt about using my eight inch chef knife. It just felt big and clumsy in my hand. I finally broke down and tried this 6 inch Mercer, and I love it. It feels better in my hand, and I prefer its forged blade more than I thought I would. I'm short in stature, with small hands, so I'm sure that has something to do with my preference. Still, this is a well-made knife from a good brand, and it's not nearly as pricey as some.

The sharpness and quality of materials and construction is all good for the price of around $40. I have only owned it for a few months for moderate home cooking (about 5-7 uses per week) so I can't really comment on edge retention, but so far it is still sharp only with honing every other day. My biggest complaints are that the blade width (distance from spine to edge at the heel) is too short which doesn't give much clearance for fingers under the handle and gives less space for scooping chopped ingredients using the blade, and that the handle is a bit too thick in the middle to comfortably use for an on-blade pinch grip. It is also handle heavy which also make pinch gripping less comfortable, though that is common for 6 inch forged chef knives in general.

Both of my knives from Mercer rival my knives from global at 75% less cost. They hold their edge well, very well built, great quality, and they are sharpened very easily. I have a 3.5 inch knife from them and a 6 inch knife from them for cooking and they are just stellar!
