Mercer Renaissance 7-Piece Forged Knife Set

Mercer Renaissance 7-Piece Forged Knife Set

Culinary students and cooks who carry their knives to work need a set that travels. This Renaissance set packs five forged knives and a 10-inch sharpening steel into a heavy-duty nylon roll that resists abrasion and tears.

The 8-inch chef’s knife and bread knife cover board work and loaves, the boning knife handles meat and poultry, and a utility knife and paring knife handle small jobs. The steel keeps the edges aligned between sharpenings. Each knife has a full tang and a triple-riveted handle.

Roll or Block?

For a home counter, the Renaissance 6-Piece Knife Block Set holds the same five knife types in a block.

Care

Wash by hand after each use with warm water and a mild soap, then dry with a soft towel. Mercer advises against the dishwasher: heat can break down the handle, and caustic detergent can stain and pit the blade.
Do not leave the knife soaking. If chlorine or bleach touches the blade, rinse it off at once.
Avoid long contact with aluminum pans or a stainless steel sink, and do not leave the knife standing in condiments held in metal pans. Prolonged contact can cause pitting.
Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic bar or in a knife guard.
