Description

The Mercer Genesis bread knife is the professional kitchen workhorse, featuring a 25cm forged high-carbon German steel blade with precision-ground scalloped serrations that power through the heaviest crusts.

Built for the Professional Line
At 5 a.m. in a commercial bakery, the Genesis is already at work — its 25cm reach handles whole miches and boules in single passes, the scalloped edge gripping crusts baked at 260 degrees without hesitation. The Santoprene handle stays grippy through flour-dusted shifts, and the full-tang balance makes the hundredth loaf feel as effortless as the first.
The Culinary School Standard
Mercer Culinary supplies more culinary schools than any other knife brand, and the Genesis line represents their professional benchmark. The high-carbon German steel is taper-ground from a single forged blank for optimal weight distribution, and the Santoprene handle is ergonomically designed by studying the hand positions of professional bakers during extended slicing sessions. NSF certification ensures the Genesis meets the strictest food-safety hygiene standards.

Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
