Mercer Culinary 12 Inch Chef's Knife Millennia Black Handle

Mercer Culinary 12 Inch Chef's Knife Millennia Black Handle

The Mercer Culinary M22612 Millennia 12 inch chef's knife handles the heavy-volume work that shorter blades slow down — breaking down large cuts of meat, rough-chopping full heads of cabbage, slicing through long loaves, and working through high-output prep shifts. It's a go-to for line cooks, culinary students, and foodservice operations that need a reliable, NSF-certified blade at a working kitchen price.

• 12-inch high-carbon Japanese steel blade — holds an edge through extended prep and sharpens back quickly
• Stamped construction with a 15° blade angle for a keen, thin edge suited to slicing and chopping tasks
• HRC 53–54 hardness — a practical range that balances edge retention with ease of resharpening on a steel or stone
• Black Santoprene® and polypropylene handle with textured finger points and a finger guard for a secure grip, even with wet hands
• NSF certified — meets commercial kitchen sanitation standards for restaurant and institutional use
• Hand-wash and sanitize only; proper knife care keeps the blade and handle in working condition longer

This knife fits well in a culinary school kit, a catering operation's knife roll, or a restaurant prep station where a longer blade earns its place on busy days. Sold as a single knife.
