Mercer M19050 Santoku Knife

The Granton edge features small, scalloped indentations along the blade. These create tiny air pockets between the steel and the food, which helps prevent thin slices of vegetables or meat from sticking to the knife while you work.

Yes, it is NSF certified, meaning it meets strict public health and safety standards for commercial kitchen use. Its forged construction and durable POM handle are designed to withstand the rigors of high-volume daily tasks.

German steel is known for its excellent balance of hardness and toughness. It holds a sharp edge well and is generally easier to hone and sharpen than harder, more brittle Japanese steels, making it a practical choice for regular use.

Forged knives are crafted from a single piece of steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This process creates a denser, stronger blade with a bolster that provides better balance and structural integrity compared to stamped knives.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing and drying this knife immediately after use. Dishwashers can dull the edge prematurely and the high heat can damage the handle material over time.
