Mercer CulinaryM23114 Millennia Black Handle, 18-Inch Wavy Edge, Cake Slicer

Yes, this is a cake machete! ! But absolutely the best cake knife ever!..Especially for sheet cakes. The lines were straight and no smudging the lettering while cutting! ( we wiped the knife with a paper towel between slices). Absolutely recommend, but you may need a permit to bring it into work ;

A really great knife.

The length, I thought, was the entire knife with handle included. But it is actually just measuring the blade. It’s very long.

This is one l-o-n-g knife - which is exactly what I needed. Overall quality is great and it’s a sharp beast. Glad to have it in the toolkit. My only ding: a thicker piece of metal would boost stiffness throughout its above-average length. When used to cut cake layers, it’s a bit more flexible in the horizontal orientation required. Haven’t tried slicing a crusty loaf of bread with it but suspect the noted blade flex might make for slightly wonky cuts. Good knife but you really need to monitor (i.e., more than normal) how it’s cutting across its length.

Worked perfectly for slicing large cakes and trimming the edges of sheet cakes.

I didn’t buy this to slice cake. I bought it to cut rockwool mineral insulation. They say to cut with a bread knife, but I wanted something long that would cut the 16” width of the insulation for making it thinner for walls made of 2x3 instead of 2x4 wood studs that I was insulating during a 1969 mobile home trailer remodel. Basically I wanted to cut a 6” thick batt of insulation into two 3” thick batts by “resawing” them to a size they don’t make.It worked very well and saved me from having to cut with a shorter knife from opposite sides and hope they lined up in the middle.It’s still sharp after many cuts, so I presume it will work for a long time for cake too! This knife is basically a serrated sword!

So I received my knife today and after I stopped laughing at the size of it I decided to rename it. So now I have my cake machete! Lol. I will say I definitely won't have a problem with not having a big enough knife to go through my cakes! I put my machete right to the test. My cakes were cool and ready to slice! I must say I absolutely LOVE my cake machete! It sliced through my cakes like butter. I'm so happy I purchased it. After seeing how long it was I was curious if it would hinder the ease of use. It definitely did not disappoint! I'd buy it again and will definitely encourage others to try it out!

This thing rips through my cakes with ease. Granted, I do mainly make Genoese sponge, so it’s not really that hard to rip through.I cannot attest to how well it would penetrate a thicker cake or bread, but I can say for what I’ve used it for, it has no faults.It is my Cakemore. (Claymore in case you were curious). It must be sheathed on the back because it is so massive. I wield it into the battlefield that is known as my kitchen. So far, it has sliced dozens of layers.Many more will fall before it, for it is mighty.
