I was impressed with the America's Test Kitchen review and decided to buy it as my ages old bread knife is not easy to use and tends to smoosh up the bread. The Mercer Culinary Millennia 10" wide bread knife is fantastic on all types of bread (crusty French bread, bagels, etc.) I was also impressed with how skinny I was able to slice fresh tomatoes. It is now my favorite go-to utensil. Love it!

I should probably wait till I've used it for a month or so, but this knife is just too good a deal not to rave about it. I've had it now for all of 20 minutes. I tested it on bread; I tested it on leftover chuck roast. I even tested it on my finger (I just touched the blade to get a sense of how sharp it was and with almost no pressure I'm now wearing a bandaid). I know it says "Bread Knife" but this thing sliced through that cold roast beef like it was butter. The slices looked almost like I went through them in a single slice: smooth with only very, very light striations. And bread? Like it was born to cut bread (which it was). Of course for anyone who has to slice meats, breads and other (boneless) things, its also about the handle. I have medium large hands. The handle was perfect. I can imagine doing a lot of cutting with this without fatigue or driving my nails into my palm. Given its shape I think it will be comfortable for all but the very smallest hands. It also did not slide around. I ran it under water and then took a slice of my roast beef. No slippage. Yes, I could feel the water but the knife did not slide or slip in my hand against the resistance of the chuck roast. Now the really amazing part: This thing is dirt cheap. I paid less than $15.00 for mine, including shipping. List price is around $22.00. I'm sure there are better knives out there but nothing comes close within a couple hundred dollars (I've checked). This is not just for the budget conscious, this is one great knife.Read full review

Amazingly sharp blade and very cheap price for what you get! Just started making my own bread. It sliced cleanly through my sourdough loaf in one cut. No joke. I would definitely recommend this bread knife!

I bought this knife after a recent Wirecutter review extolled its virtues. It really does a great job slicing artisan bread loaves without squashing the bread - something my way more expensive serrated bread knife was unable to do. I only wish this knife came with a protective sleeve (since it doesn’t fit into the butcher block) but the knife itself is wonderful. And at a great price.

Works better than the older knife that costs three times more. Very comfortable handle as an extra plus! Wonderful product
