Review on 🍞 Mercer Culinary Millennia M23210WBH 10-Inch Wide Wavy Edge Bread Knife - White by Eric Salem

Okay I'm new to the real kitchen and my cheap knives just didn't work for me. For starters, I wanted a cheap chef's knife. I'm used to ordering knives by mail order to be blunt or minimally sharp. So I was really surprised when I hit the back of my hand *lightly* with the tip of the blade and bled profusely! After two days and seven patches, I reached the point where I stopped hurting myself and/or ruining food. A month later everything is holding up well. No signs of chipping or metal issues/discoloration. The edge is a bit dull and I need to bring it down to the stone (I don't think a honing stick will do). Don't get me wrong, it's still very sharp, but not as insanely sharp as it used to be. In fact, I saved the package it came in and cut it up to use as a scabbard in a desk drawer so no one in the family accidentally cuts themselves. I went with the 10" because I read somewhere that the length of the knife is determined by your height. I'm not sure I understand that logic. I'm 6ft 2" and I think I would have that should buy 8 inches.
