Mercer Culinary BPX Breaking Butcher Knife, 10 Inch

-Sharp. Ready to cut. Great work knife. Huge. Secure grip and feel firm in use. Great for everyday or commercial use at good price.

This is a really nice and super sharp knife I’d definitely recommend ordering a sheath for it. UPDATE: I’ve had this knife almost a year now, and I also bought a victorinox 6” boning knife and I must say that this Mercer knife is still sharp unlike the victorinox which dulled after just a few uses. I LOVE the Mercer knife so much that I’m replacing my 6” victorinox with an 6” Mercer plus the Mercer is a little cheaper than the victorinox. From now on I’ll only own the Mercer brand knives for my cooking needs. So if you like me we’re on the fence about the Mercer brand don’t be it’s a really great knife at a really great price point. I love this knife so much I don’t even allow anyone else to use it.

Excellent knife I am a meat cutter in the grocery store and use this every day. Awesome knife delivered quickly great value highly recommend.

Super-sharp, right out of the box! Only used it once, so far - to break a picanha down into steaks. This knife literally sliced through the meat like the proverbial "hot knife through butter"! I'm not sure how this would hold up in a high volume environment (like a restaurant or institutional kitchen) but it's more than adequate for home use. I really like that the handle (shape and material) insures a firm, steady grip. Control is essential when dealing with such a sharp knife and it's easy with this one. Time will tell how well it holds an edge. I'll report back when I have to sharpen it.

I have only had the knife a couple of days, but, bought it specifically for butchering a hog. The knife was sharp out of the package and worked well, keeping its edge with only minimal touching up on a sharpening steel. I have wanted a long curved "breaking" knife for a couple of years, and love knives way more than my checkbook does. For me to pay this much for a single knife is unusual. Although it was more than I would usually pay, it is also on the low end of the price scale, and at just under $30 was too good to pass up. The steel appears to be pretty decent quality, and the only thing I dont really love is the handle, while comfortable, it suffers the same problem of, well all knives I guess, when the going gets gooey, it gets slick. Fit and finish are decent, there is a mold seem on the front edge of the handle where it meets up to the blade and was not completely removed and smoothed, although other than cosmetic, I dont see it causing any real problems.

I like this knife for cutting primals down into steaks. Much cheaper to do this yourself, and this knife makes quick work of it.

Great knife!

Acabo de recibirlo , se ve genial

Excelente filo y calidad de los materiales con que está fabricado!!

I usually use Victorinox but couldn't get the 10" breaking knife so ordered this. This is a perfectly acceptable alternative, great quality and offers value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to order a Mercer knife as I also have a bread knife from Mercer that is also great quality and holds its edge well. I have had that knife for over a year and have not had to resharpen it yet. I have not had the breaking knife long enough to comment on that aspect as I have only used it once to break up a whole chuck roll.
