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. The full-tang construction with ergonomic Santoprene handle provides all-day comfort in commercial environments. NSF-certified and trusted by cooking schools worldwide.
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 Cooking School Standard
Mercer Culinary supplies more cooking 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.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
