Review on 🔪 Powerful Precision: Mercer Culinary Züm Forged Chef's Knife, 8 Inch by Ben Chase

Mercer Zum Chef's knives are excellent knives. I bought a couple of Zum knives after gifting my classic 14 piece Wusthof knife set to my son. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on another set of Wüsthofs. I bought a 5 piece Zum set as well as a few other Zum knives for a fraction of the cost of Wusthof knives. The quality of the steel from which Mercer Zum knives are made is the same as that of Wüsthof. The only difference is the polishing of the steel. I've found that most Mercer Zum knives have small abrasions that are only visible when you hold one of the knives at a certain angle. Hence the rating of 4 stars instead of 5. This does not detract from the performance of the Zum knives. Each knife is well made, ergonomic and the fit and finish of the POM handles are excellent. Each Zum knife is well balanced and the blades are razor sharp. There really is nothing to complain about. If you're looking for quality knives and don't want to go broke, Mercer Culinary is the place to go.
