PicksHive Take
The Mercer Culinary M22608 Millennia Black Handle is worth considering for home cooks who want a knife for everyday chopping, mincing, and cutting and are willing to care for it by hand. The listing specifically calls out dicing onions, mincing shallots, chopping herbs, crushing garlic, and shredding cabbage. At the current $30.31 price, its appeal is a straightforward combination of steel construction and grip-focused design, rather than a long list of extras. PicksHive has not tested this knife by hand.
According to Mercer, the blade uses one-piece high-carbon Japanese steel intended to offer easy edge maintenance and long-lasting sharpness. The ergonomic handle has textured finger points for a non-slip grip, and the listing says the tang provides excellent balance. Those are useful design claims to consider, but they do not establish how comfortable or balanced the knife will feel in your own hand.
The main trade-off is care: Mercer directs owners to hand-wash with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry completely. Skip it if dishwasher cleaning or leaving cutlery soaking is part of your routine. Also check the listing before buying if blade length is a deciding factor; the supplied details do not specify it.
For comparison, Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8 Inch Chef’s Knife and imarku 8 Inch Chef Knife identify an eight-inch size in their supplied names. That makes size clearer for those alternatives, but the available information does not support a verdict on relative sharpness, comfort, or durability. The Mercer is a candidate if its stated tasks match your cooking and its care requirements suit your habits.

PicksHive buying note
Check that accessories fit your appliance's exact basket or bowl size, measured inside. Liners and cups should list a maximum temperature above the heat you cook at, and paper liners should never be preheated empty where they can touch the heating element.
