SHOP CASE KNIVESThe kitchen is more than a place to prepare meals—it’s where craft, creativity, and precision come together. Every ingredient has a story to tell, and the right knife transforms that story into something extraordinary. Imagine the clean slice of a ripe tomato, the smooth rhythm of mincing herbs, or the confident rock of a blade that moves as if it were an extension of your own hand. The Mercer BPX 8" Chef’s Knife was created for these moments, built not just to cut, but to inspire confidence and elevate every motion at the cutting board.
Mercer designed the BPX series to withstand the unforgiving pace of professional kitchens, where durability, sharpness, and performance are non-negotiable. Forged with the same care and precision that chefs demand, this knife embodies professional-grade craftsmanship while remaining accessible to passionate home cooks. Whether you’re an experienced chef, a culinary student, or simply someone who takes pride in cooking, the BPX Chef’s Knife offers a balance of strength, sharpness, and control that redefines expectations.
The blade is crafted from high-carbon German steel (X50CrMoV15) and ice-hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 57-58, ensuring lasting edge retention, resilience against stains and corrosion, and the toughness needed for heavy daily use. Each side is ground to a razor-sharp 15° angle with a polished finish, designed to glide effortlessly through food and minimize resistance. From delicate herbs to dense root vegetables, every cut is smooth and precise.
Equally important is the control in your hand. The handle is made from glass-reinforced nylon, textured to provide a secure, non-slip grip even in wet conditions. Its ergonomic design distributes weight for balance, reducing fatigue during extended prep. This level of reliability makes the Mercer BPX 8" Chef’s Knife an indispensable tool, trusted to handle anything from breaking down proteins to fine chopping tasks.
