Well I am buying one and will see how it is. My bet is "not all that good lol" I believe I paid about 120 for my 6" and 180 for my 10" wusthof classics locally so this 8" falls in the middle and also about half the price not 5x.

A $40 knife is half the price of a $120 or a $180 knife? Try that again lol. Comparatively they're all German stainless steel which is very meh IMO, but I care about edge retention and value per dollar. I wouldn't even mention a German mega brand, or a marketed knife company for that matter. That goes for Shuns, Miyabi, Zwilling, Wusthof, etc.

I have used a shun as well and felt it was pretty good. One item I dislike about the mercer is it is made in Taiwan so QC could be an issue.
