Mercer Millennia 10 in. Bread Knife

The Mercer Millennia 10-inch Wide Bread Knife is a staple in professional kitchens for a reason: it solves the problem of lateral blade wander. When slicing through dense, rustic sourdough or soft brioche, the 1.375-inch blade width provides the surface area necessary to keep your cuts vertical and consistent. In hands-on testing, the aggressive serrations engage immediately, requiring minimal downward pressure which prevents the crushing of delicate interiors.

The tactile experience is defined by the Santoprene handle—a textured, polypropylene-based grip that remains secure even when your hands are wet or covered in flour. This is a critical safety feature in fast-paced commercial environments. The 10-inch (254mm) length allows for a full-stroke draw on oversized loaves, reducing the 'sawing' motion that often leads to ragged edges. Whether you are a culinary student working through a heavy prep list or a home baker seeking professional results, this stamped blade delivers high-carbon performance without the high-cost barrier.

We also carry the same knife with a black and white handle that is Available Here.

Care & Professional Maintenance

Hand Wash Recommended: Protect the integrity of the high-carbon steel and handle bond by avoiding the dishwasher.
Drying: Dry the blade immediately after washing to prevent oxidation spots common in Japanese steel alloys.
Sharpening: While serrations hold an edge longer than straight blades, professional sharpening is recommended periodically to maintain the points of the serrations.
Storage: Use a blade guard or magnetic rack to prevent dulling of the serrated tips from contact with other tools.
