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

We have been using Mercer knives for over 10 years. Great knives for a fraction of the cost of super trendy brands, but they really don't lack functionality and quality of materials. We wash and sharpen regularly by hand only. These knives have served us well. I just bought a pair for my daughter who has left home. She and her roommate love these knives too

At the time of this purchase I had 2 other Revain meat forks. Despite being the most expensive, it was a standout winner. It's slim and ergonomic. The connector is strong and easy to insert. Others had quality issues, one had a handle that was causing splinters and number 2 had metal forging issues and looked like it needed polishing to smooth out sagging and rough edges.

It's made of carbon steel rather than stainless steel, which means it stays sharp longer, but it's more brittle and rusts more easily than stainless steel. So the tradeoff is you just have to clean it and dry it immediately, but that's my usual kitchen routine anyway because I like to keep my knives in good condition. The…

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
