I recently received these two knives from Big Kitchen
Mercer Renaissance Forged Riveted Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 7 Inch
and
Mercer Renaissance Forged Riveted Chef’s Knife, 8 Inch
If there’s one piece of kitchen equipment that is mandatory, it’s a good knife.
Trying to cook, chop, slice ‘n dice, and simply be productive and efficient in the kitchen is impossible without a proper knife. Lightweight, flimsy, and dull knives are intolerable and I won’t use them.
When I am in the kitchen, I tend to put one (big) knife in my hand and keep it there until everything is chopped, sliced, minced, quartered, cut, and ready. Paring knives and smaller knives have their place, but I prefer bigger knives, in general.
Don’t be scared of the Big Guns.
From cleaning and slicing pineapple
to cleaning and chopping heads of lettuce
To chopping oranges and cucumbers for and Cucumber Orange Dill Relish
to cleaning and slicing watermelon
To dicing the Snickers bars for Snickers Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Or chopping the candy for 3 Musketeers Marshmallow Candy-Stuffed White Chocolate Cupcakes with Fluffy Vanilla Buttercream
…Not a day goes by where I don’t have my knife and cutting board out and in use. Repeat x17 times. Before noon on most days.
These Mercer knives are built solidly, feel nice in my hands, are heavy enough but not too heavy, and most importantly, they get the chopping job done.

My favorite knife is currently a knife that’s been with my family for as long as I’ve been old enough to be trusted with a knife in the kitchen. The name brand has even been rubbed off, but the knife still cuts true each time it gets sharpened by hand.

Oh my! I really need a knife! I do not have a favorite knife because I only have steak knives that are as old as dirt! I get by using them, but believe me I would love to win these! My old steak knives have been ok, but these would be GREAT!

Have one i bought at the supermarket after a demo,and use it to saw frozen hamburger…mostly eat steak with it
I hate all the knives I currently have, but the best one I ever owned was a ceramic knife that could cut through anything, but it got chipped and was no longer useable. These knifes look sturdy.
