Mercer knives are pretty much standard issue culinary school gear. If you are not issued a set out of your student fees, you will be given the opprotunity to buy a Mercer kit. Buy that shit. Odds are you will get yourself more knives as you keep cooking and want something that is “you” but Mercer makes that Suzy Homemaker Chicago cutlery bullshit look like the pathetic shit that is. I had a Mercer kit for years till I got jacked. Now I wield a Shun Rikkon, but I got nothing bad to say about Mercer, especially not for their price.
