    Damn you drunk me for ordering this. It’s a garbage mass produced knife that multiple companies buy and sell them. It looks cool enough but not at all worth the money. Mine came from a company called Caveman style but it’s the exact same knife marketed as an outdoorsman type of knife. Though mine says “Gaveman Style”.

    I really dislike the European knife design. The steel is soft and brittle comparing with modern clean steels on same price range. Full Flat profile sticks to food like crazy. Thick 15 degree edge has horrible cutting performance even if its shaving sharp. Nothing makes sense for me. I think the Japanese are way ahead in knife design as long as you know how to properly use a knife. The difference in cutting performance is huge.

    Thanks for your effort. One small observation on your pre and post dull test. Many variables, brick composition, materials hit during dulling, your bias effect on pressure, etc I when younger started with the cheaper knives, and they worked fine. I can now afford the higher priced knifes and they took work just as good and a bit better due to weight and balance. The ergonomics are important if not more important, I find this in all products I use, especially as I get older and wiser. All in all good job!

      ​@@DemoMan-fq9zi This reply reads like a spiteful attempt to validate to yourself that you made the right choice in buying a less expensive knife. His comment is on the fit and finish of the knives and he acknowledges they perform as well as each other. I haven't tried dozens of expensive knives, but the Wusthof Classic's weight, balance, and ergonomics are the best I've felt in a kitchen knife. I also own the Mercer knife, the quality and weight distribution don't even come close. Grinding my knives against bricks and soaking them in water are not real use cases, so what are the "results" that you're lauding?

    I'm not surprised to see another company fraudulently bilking the public, this has become a cancer which seems to be spreading out of control. Just take a look at the price spread Amazon allows on its site, you could pay as little as $14 or as much as $45 for EXACTLY the same product, this is theft plain and simple.

    iv taken a look at all the knives mercer has. They are nice but yes the steel sucks! It would be great if you could look into winco/stal knives. They are cheep but are used in restaurants. They are made of x50 steel. Now, mercer does have a forged x50 steel knives but they are generally twice the price of the winco to get x50 steel. All winco knives are x50. I use dexter knives at the restaurant but the dexter doesnt show what steel they are using. The offset breadknife is extremly sharp, but only lasts so long. But again is used everyday, all day, so they wear down quick. Also i have heard good things about victor?nox but again none of the name brands are showing what steel and none of the name brands are used in a regular restaurant. Dexter is, and apparently only winco is approved by the american ? chefs/cooks association something like that dont know the legitimacy. Basic Winco chefs knife x50 steel 16 bucks. ??? love to hear what you say about them. Im leaning to winco.

    I will never be considered a sous chef, but I am a damn good cook. I bought the Huusk Viking Knife on Amazon during a flash sale for $20. Not thinking it will be vary much. It holds an edge better than most of the very good carbon steels I have and not that difficult to sharpen considering it is some kind of unknown alloy steel. I find I use it way more than I expected I would. For what I paid I can't knock the knife, after 4 months use. I do agree it was not as sharp as my real Japanese Nakiri, but does most task well.

    I think you should include the series of the knife along with the brand. Unlike Wusthof, Brands like Mercer and Dalstrong have such an extreme variety of material and quality across their various series that one shouldn't write them off because their low end knives are... low end.

    Mercers are your run of the mill kitchen knives. Them Victorinox and other non branded NSF knives with the same handle are everyday restaurant kitchen workhorses.. They'll both do well but I actually prefer the Mercer style NSF knives. I have the Global 9" chef knife that came in my knife roll kit in culinary school and it does the same as my cheap ass 8" Victorinox. Missing a santoku so I grabbed the Mercer millenia. I also have a Mercer boning knife that does well. These knives i wouldn't think twice about if they got chipped or broke a tip off as I would with my Global. 😂

    This is a company I would never do business with again. I impulse went to their web site and thought I was ordering one knife. When I got to the order confirmation, it said four knifes. I immediately contacted them about the mistake and was told that my order could not be changed because it had already been sent to fulfillment and they would not allow me to return the three knifes. I wish I had seen this video before hand. I would never had felt with them at all.
