Mercer Renaissance Block Set

The knives are forged from high-quality German stainless steel, which is known for its excellent balance of edge retention, sharpness, and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Yes. These knives feature a 50/50 symmetrical bevel, meaning the edge is ground equally on both sides to accommodate both left-handed and right-handed cooks.

To preserve the integrity of the blades and the POM handles, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the blades and damage the handle material.

POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-density thermoplastic that is extremely durable and moisture-resistant. The triple-riveted construction ensures the handle remains securely attached to the full-tang blade, providing a stable and balanced grip during heavy use.

The block is specifically designed to house the five knives included in the set. While it offers a sleek, organized storage solution, it does not have extra slots for additional cutlery.

The 6-inch boning knife in this set is designed with a degree of flexibility, which is essential for maneuvering around bones and joints when trimming meat or poultry.
