Care and handling of Mercer Asian cutlery

The performance of a knife can be diminished if it is not cared for properly.

Mercer Cutlery should never be washed in a dishwasher because intense heat and harsh detergents may cause the handle to deteriorate. Carefully wash by hand with soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft towel. Do not soak or submerge in water for long periods of time or use chlorine bleach because it can pit and discolor the blade. Avoid soaking in aluminum or stainless steel sinks because these metals may cause pitting on the blade.

Store in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent injuries.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is this knife so inexpensive
Answer:	These knives are NOT expensive. I bought a 14 in slicing knife at a local cutlery store. It cost me $149, and I hated it from the first cut. I have a Mercer chef’s knife that I have lived, and I didn’t know it was a Mercer knife until today. That’s why I’m here buying the Mercer 14” slicing knife today! I already live the knife I have. I want to love my brisket knife as much as I love my chef knife.
Question:	what is the angle of the factory edge on the culinary genesis and culinary millennia chef's knives
Answer:	We factory sharpen all of our double bevel chef knives to 15 degrees
Question:	Many reviewers mention the knife arrived dull! Is that the case?!?! Please respond
Answer:	I purchased a different model knife from Mercer. It was the 10" wavy bread knife. The knife I purchase was absolutely razor sharp. Based on my experience and that of others, I would be very surprised to receive a dull knife from Mercer. Highly recommend that you contact them. I am confident that they will want to make it "right" for you.
Question:	Will this knife cut sushi without shredding the nori
Answer:	I think you want a fine edge when doing that, so something that has an angle of 14 degrees or less for the cutting edge, on each side, or a blade that's only beveled on one side, and also a blade that doesn't get very much thicker as the blade cuts through. A high quality Chinese chef knife is good, or getting a blade such as the manufacturer suggested is good. I use a European 8" chef knife to cut through sushi rolls, but I have it sharpened at 14 degrees and the blade is thin, but I have to rinse it about every 4 cuts. I also have to hone it more often because of the fine angle.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	I've got both -- the straight one.
Question:	Is it made in China
Answer:	These are the exact same knives. The 47513 is the newer model. The only difference is on the 40513 it has two sets of numbers 40513 and below that 5.6413.15 and on model 47513 it has just the numbers 5.6413.15
Question:	How is this different from the Genesis series blade
Answer:	A flex knife might be good for trimming bone and fat. This semi-stiff knife has proven to be good for slicing and carving as well as trimming and boning for me. So, it fits both of my needs. I have been very pleased with this knife since I bought it. I use it almost daily and have not had to scrapen the blade yet.
Question:	Can the mercer culinary ultimate white 11-inch slicer, wavy edge be sharpened
Answer:	You need this knife if you eat/cook meat. You can buy a whole beef tenderloin (filet) for $6-$8/lb on sale at a big box store on sale and trim it yourself. That'll save you up to $100. You definitely need three knives in a Western kitchen: a French chef's knife; a flexible boning knife, and a bread knife, which you use for splitting cake layers, too. (Make sure the latter is 10" or even 12" long for that.) You can add a small paring knife and/or 6" utility knife down the road if you like. Never buy a knife set, by the way. Knives within any one brand aren't always the best of their kind. Moreover, you'll get knives you don't need and it'll be missing knives you do need.
