## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent kitchen knife. Sharp and effective. Not for beginners.
*by B***. on March 28, 2019*

The media could not be loaded. This Mercer made in Taiwan Japanese 6 inches Deba knife is really razor sharp out of the box, I am impressed.For this it can't be touched on the edge not even minimally.It takes some caution and good safety habit in handling this knife, it is not a forgiving blade.Also the traditional oval, tiny, light wooden handle, is not meant to be ergonomic and fit the hand fully and firmly and there could easily be a rotation of the blade as result of improper control.This blade requires some knife skills and proper technique.I wouldn't put it in the hands of a beginner.Also the blade has only one side sharpened in observance to the Japanese tradition and "pushes" on the opposite side of the blade when cutting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ entry level/trainer deba. limitations for $ (untreated wood, not hollowed, 6/15 edge, lacks weight)
*by P***M on December 5, 2021*

the Limitations you need to account for (untreated wood, not hollowed back side, has 6/15 edge):-1) a untreated wood handle on wood version+ve allows user to coat wood in their own oil or varnish such as mineral, Tung, Tsubaki I used 100% jojoba oil this isn't common. but I wanted to give it a several coatings over the first 2 hours since it arrived and it was lying in a drawer so I just used that. Just be sure to use a oil that doesn't go rancid.-ve the knife will easy stain unless a oil is applied upon arrival also water may affect the wood untreated wood. do the user has to do a little work to protect the handle. if this is a concern order the santoprene handle.2) the edge.-ve standard knife sharpeners will attempt to a double edge on a single bevel knife so a whetstone will be recommended this shouldn't come as a surprise to deba or other single bevel users but. If this is your first Japanese style knife (it's been made in Taiwan it's not a Japanese knife and it stamped not forged steel) be aware it has a 6 degree on the back end and 15 degrees on the main side. so this quick pull-through and electric sharpeners for the most part will remove the single edge.On the subject and a minor concern there is no hallow out the backside to allow for easier sharpening but this isn't a surprise on a $24 knife I mean it s $24 dollar knife so let's just set our expectations about how much labour time has gone on for this knife on the points above so I can't deduct and star ratings for this knife on that front.I did deduct 1 star and for these reasons1) untreated wood handle for some users will be annoying and make the knife look trash quickly if not treated.2) I noticed that peeling off the sealing plastic by pulling it off the wood handle i noticed that the tang started to move in the wooden handle. I just tapped it back into the handle however that's a niggle in my mind.3) I was expecting the spine and weight if the 6" version i had to be heavier it feels abit weak IMHO for what is a fish/meat bone cracking knife for small medium size fish. I prefer about another 80g of weight and a thicker spine.OVERALLa great knife at this price point even if you were to trash the single bevel knife on generic sharpeners its still a good trainer knife to get it back on a whetstone, before moving to more expensive deba's (as these can easily start at $100 for a white steel japanese forged and they get much more expensive).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Knives
*by K***N on November 26, 2023*

These came razor sharp and they hold an edge well. Mercer knives are very good knives and are very affordable.
