Why We Love It

A proper bread knife is the unsung hero of the kitchen—once you use one that actually works, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. The Mercer Millennia slices through crusty sourdough like butter while leaving the crumb perfectly intact. Unlike cheap serrated knives that tear and shred, this blade's precision serrations grip and cut cleanly. At this price, there's no reason to struggle with inferior bread knives.
