Mercer Culinary Genesis Chef's Knife

The Granton edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This design significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade while you slice.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel and the handle material, you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use.

The short bolster allows you to use the entire length of the blade, making sharpening easier and providing a more comfortable grip for those who prefer a pinch grip. It also helps balance the knife, offering better control for precision tasks.

No, the Santoprene handle is specifically designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet or greasy, which is a key safety feature for professional kitchen environments.

Because it is high-carbon steel, it is important to keep the blade clean and dry to prevent corrosion. Regular honing with a sharpening steel will help maintain its edge, and you should use a whetstone or professional sharpening service when it eventually dulls.
