Mercer Culinary M13914 Millennia Black Handle, 14-Inch, Slicer

Started curing and smoking pork belly to make bacon. I have a meat slicer but needed either a bigger one to slice long pieces of bacon or this knife. This thing is a monster and devastatingly sharp. I am looking forward to making my next brisket as I now have a knife that will cut through a whole packer without issue. It has a little spring to it but stays straight enough that every slice of bacon came out perfect. You could spend a LOT more on a similar knife but I don't see any reason why you would need to. The grip has a great feel and shape as well as aggressive texture. I have some other Mercer knives and have never been disappointed in any of them.

I alsolutely love this slicer! As with all Mercer products I've bought, it is a quality knife at exceptional value. The handle is very comfortable and feels solidly attached. Their steel always strikes a good balance imo, it comes sharp, and it holds a sharp edge, but if you're good with your crock sticks or stones you can get it much sharper and it takes an edge fairly easily. I love the design of this specific knife for slicing meat. The blade is long, narrow, and thin, making it great for slicing up any large cut of meat, like tri tip, turkey breast, or pork belly, and I use it to cut up ribs, too. It'll slice through very tender ribs with no effort and without removing the meat, and the narrow design makes it easy to follow the curve of the rib bone. I've tried a lot of knives over the years, both less and much more expensive, and most of the ones I've kept are Mercer. There's a reason they're still a big name in the culinary school and foodservice industry- excellent knives that are sharp, easy to clean, and comfortable at a great value! Even if you don't buy this one check them out!

For the price , this is a great purchase . It is sharp , cuts well and is ergonomic . My one major complaint is that I wish I realized this didn't come with a protective cover of any type . It is a very sharp and large knife making it difficult to store . I would gladly have paid more for it if it came with some sort of storage box, sheath or cover . With hindsight I would spend more on another brand that came with protection . This would be 5 stars then .

I bought this for my Christmas prime rib roast. I prefer English cut roast beef, so I make thin slices. This was better than my parents’ electric carving knife that they’ve historically used. Even slices just came off the roast. It had a little trouble getting through the seared crust of the roast - by trouble I mean that the knife’s own weight would not cut through the crust so I had to actually pushed, but after just moving the knife back and forth was enough. Comes extremely sharp and I recommend getting some sort of sleeve for it. I also have a 14” honing steel which when gently used for the second roast seemed to keep it at brand new sharpness. Regarding ergonomics, the big goofy plastic handle is wonderful. It doesn’t slip and it’s comfortable in my hands. I’m very pleased with this knife for slicing beef roasts, which is the specific purpose I bought it for. I’ve not used it for anything else. So if you want a roast beef knife, this one is sharp, has help up through a few dinners, is still razor sharp, and it’s like the cheapest in class. I recommend it.

Mercer knives are excellent quality at a good price. I replaced my expensive, brand name knives with these. The slicing knife is thin, has just enough give, and is extremely sharp. Sliced my roast beautifully.

Get it when on sale. I think I got it for $25-30 which was a good deal. Very VERY sharp. - Light weight. - looks nice - does the job. Would have liked a paper/cardboard scabbard cuz the size is unruly.

I have been smoking meats for about a year no. I never had a dedicated slicing knife. I tried a carving knife which required too much pressure and too much sawing action. I read somewhere that bread knifes can do the trick. It was ok. But as my smoking skill was improving, my slicing skill wasn't. I've had this knife on my wish list for probably 6 months. I was planning on doing a brisket this past weekend and figured I might as well try the knife. So, I ordered it and two days later it was here. First thing. The knife is long. . . I mean really long. I wasn't prepared for it. However, after some reading from other reviews I realized that the length enabled it to slice on one pull, so sawing action which can ruin a good slice is eliminated. The handle is nothing special. It is ergonomic, but is some type of cheap injection molded plastic. That's fine. I didn't buy it to show off to my friends what a beautiful slicing knife I have. Look, it fits well in my hand, so it's good enough for me. So, how does it slice? Pretty spectacular! The blade is nice and thin so it goes through brisket like a hot knife through butter (no pun intended!). I couldn't quite get the meat fully sliced on one pull, but I think that is more a product of my technique, rather than the knife. Anyway, after one use, I highly recommend. Now to figure out where to store it!

Great slicer! Sharp! Durable! Excellent value for the money!

Tiene un buen tamaño. Muy filoso, corta cualquier tipo de carne como si fuese mantequilla. Se convirtió en mi favorito. Si detecto problemas más adelante, actualizaré mi reseña pero por ahora, lo recomiendo.

Used for carving smoked joints of meat. My best knife.

Exceptionally good, cuts through meat like butter, slices perfectly through The large cakes I make

Purchased the "Culinary Millennia Plain Edge Slicer, 12-Inch, Black" knife for my mother as she didnt have a really long knife for slicing roasted/cured meats. Had it shipped directly to her 500km away from me as a gift (thanks Amazon). She loves it and says its "the best meat slicer I've ever had". Sorry I cannot comment on the physical quality of the knife as I have yet to see it.
