Mercer Millennia 10 in. Wide Bread Knife with White & Black Handle

Serrated Precision for High-Volume Production


Master the toughest crusts and softest interiors with a 10-inch wide-profile blade forged from high-carbon Japanese steel and engineered for maximum lateral stability.


In a professional kitchen, a bread knife is judged by its ability to track straight and bite instantly. The Mercer Millennia 10-inch Wide Bread Knife (M23210WBH) excels where thinner serrated blades fail. The 'wide' geometry provides additional weight and surface area, preventing the blade from wandering when sectioning dense sourdough boules or oversized sandwich loaves. This lateral stiffness ensures that every slice is uniform from the top crust to the bottom board.


When handling this tool, the first thing you notice is the tactile security of the Santoprene® handle. It features a pebbled texture that remains slip-resistant even when your hands are wet or covered in flour. The ergonomic blend of soft Santoprene and durable polypropylene creates a handle that absorbs the shock of repetitive sawing motions, significantly reducing wrist fatigue during a full shift of prep work.


Performance-wise, the wavy edge is ground to a razor-sharp profile that 'grabs' the slick skin of a tomato or the hard shell of a baguette without requiring downward pressure. This 'bite-and-glide' action preserves the delicate crumb structure of the bread, preventing the compression or tearing common with inferior stamped blades. The high-carbon Japanese steel allows for rapid edge touch-ups, ensuring this workhorse stays in service through months of heavy use.

    Care & Professional Maintenance

    • Cleaning: Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water. Dry immediately to prevent surface staining or pitting of the high-carbon steel.
    • Hone/Sharpen: Use a ceramic honing rod specifically designed for serrations to maintain the points of the wavy edge. Professional sharpening is recommended annually for high-volume users.
    • Storage: Store in a knife block, magnetic bar, or blade guard to protect the serrations from chipping against other metal tools.

    Safety & Compliance

    • Slip Resistance: The Santoprene handle is specifically engineered to provide a high coefficient of friction in humid kitchen environments.
    • Finger Guard: The integrated bolster prevents the index finger from sliding forward onto the serrated heel during heavy-duty cutting tasks.
