Mercer Culinary M20000 Genesis 6-Piece Forged Knife Set, Tempered Glass Block, Stainless Steel, Black

I can’t speak to the longevity of these as I haven’t had them that long yet, but so far I love these. While I’m not a professional chef, I do love cooking and value high performing tools and equipment. After researching a lot of different brands, I went with Mercer. These have the perfect weight and balance to them. Some western knives tend to be a little too heavy, whereas these feel just right — heavy enough to feel strong and high quality, but light enough that they are easy to control and manoeuvre. They are sharp and have a comfortable handle. On top of that, they are at a great price point and beautiful to look at. The stand is such a gorgeous focal point on my kitchen counter. So far, very impressed!

This really is a very impressive Knife Set Stunning to look at and will grace any kitchen with minimal space taken up because of its slim design. The knives look and feel of exceptional quality light in the hand but beautiful safe grip and they feel every penny of their premium price. As a result of being so impressed by this set I will save my pennies and buy some more Mercer knives (carving set etc) and I highly doubt given the superb quality that I will ever need to buy another knife set again. Only note of caution as this is not an angled knife block I would advise not to place under a cupboard as there is not adequate clearance to pull knives out.This is not a criticism just a common sense observation from a safety perspective. I highly recommend this beautiful knife set and as ever superb service from Amazon. STUNNING!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bought as a present for my partner in his new home, something I knew he would love but would never splash out on himself. Having researched decent knives so I'd be getting something worthwhile, these appeared multiple times and seemed to have positive reviews. I am extremely impressed by the quality of these knives, and the glass case looks perfect displayed in the kitchen and is regularly commented on by guests. It is also extremely easy to clean which was a particular concern of mine. And as a final bonus, my partner was absolutely thrilled and loves using them (more home cooked meals for me!) Would recommend 100%.

Quality item. Good weight and balance. Attractive display, easy to see which knife you are selecting, plus easy to clean. Knives are very sharp and precise.

Really happy with these. Good value and easy to sharpen. Bought a honing steel separately. The knife block looks really smart.

The knives are fantastic, made of very high quality steel and come super smart. Great set for any home chefs.

I've had the knives for over 6 months and they're a significant upgrade from the £30-£50 type knife sets I've purchased in the past. They're sturdily built and feel comfortable to hold. It's an all-round great set of knives for a decent price

Superb knives extremely sharp and well made but unfortunately 2 of ours are showing signs of rust after just 2 months. They are hand washed and never left soaking in water but it looks like the design of the handle at the top hold water.

Brilliant grip and excellent sharpness. Wife and Mom just love the feel and use of thr knives. The knife holder is great too.

I am reviewing this product after using them for 1- year and will address a few issues other posters have mentioned as either a question, or, an "issue". First to address the customer service at Mercer. I initially had a small problem with my order and after not receiving a response going through Amazon, I contacted the company directly. When emailing the company I received immediate, helpful, 5 star customer service. They went above and beyond to make sure that I was a happy customer. A trait that is difficult to find these days. I learned that many companies do not see the reviews posted here, and sometimes communication through Amazon to them, (regarding a problem for example) may not even make it to the company. That is what happened in my case. Once Mercer was aware of my issue they immediately jumped through hoops to fix it. I admit to not being the nicest person when making contact with Mercer as I believed they were ignoring me by not answering communication sent through Amazon, yet, they were nice to me. Proffesional. considering my "tone". The knives are a solid, heavy, (compared to cheap run of the mill sets), extremely sharp quality product. The handles are made of some type of rubber(?) material which assures a solid easy to handle grip. This matters, a lot. I am not a chef by any means, not even close, but from my experience wood handled knives when wet are not only difficult to grip, but dangerous because they become slippery. When the knives first arrive they are unbelievably sharp. After a few months they do begin to dull a bit but I now have a knife sharpener that quickly brings them back. I'm a total novice in the kitchen so this was a learning experience. All knives get less sharp and should be sharpened appropriately. Mercer was kind enough to educate me. Now I see why in Game of Thrones every one is constantly sitting around sharpening their Valaryan Steel swords. Sorry, couldn't resist :) Others have posted questions about the glass block itself and how to clean it. One word. Easy. See attached picture. Extremely easy. The other "issue" I have noticed posted about a lot is the height of the knives in relation to the bottom of your kitchen cabinets. Again, refer to my attached pictures for the overall "look". When I each for a knife I do slightly pull the block forward (towards me) to remove it. This has proved to be a non issue for a couple of reasons. One, you just get used to doing that motion. If you place the block under a cabinet you obviously cannot lift the knife straight up and out. However, it is not a problem at all. Two, the glass block is surprisingly sturdy so it does not fall over as you tilt it forward a bit to remove the knife. I'm so used to the motion now I don't even notice, it's just second nature. I love this set. Apparently my undercabinet lighting has effected my pictures as they actually look more "shiny" from a distance in person. A clean, updated modern design as opposed to the big old wood block ones. And the quality is top knot here. Well worth the price! Would make a great gift too.

Tengo estos cuchillos conmigo por poco tiempo. Hasta el momento han resultado muy agradables al tacto se sienten firmes, tienen mucho filo y se ven bien. Recomendable por la relación costo beneficio que ofrecen.

Que o conjunto é de extrema qualidade e ao mesmo tempo elegante e lindo

Exceed expectations.
