Overview
Not a forged knife, this Mercer Culinary Millennia is a stamped chef's blade made for finely chopping or slicing large pieces of product. A finger guard and textured finger points are built into the handle for safety.
The reason to buy it is a slip-resistant handle with a finger guard on a blade the maker calls easy to maintain and sharpen. The limitation is the compact blade and the conflicting handle information between the description and the specification.
Who it's for
Prep cooks and home cooks who spend long sessions chopping and mincing will like the grip features. Those who want a heavier forged blade, or a bigger blade for large roasts, should look at another knife.
Pros and cons
- Protective finger guard

Performance notes
Textured finger points and a finger guard give the hand a stop and a grip when chopping, mincing and slicing. The straight blade profile slides through food, per the maker, and the polypropylene and Santoprene handle is described as slip-resistant. Edge angle and hardness are not given.
