Our take on the Mercer Culinary Genesis 5-Piece Magnetic Board Set

This is a five-piece knife set built around a magnetic wooden board: four Genesis forged knives plus the board that holds them. The knives use high-carbon German steel with a full tang and a rounded, textured handle that Mercer markets for a comfortable grip. The magnetic board keeps the edges off a drawer and off a countertop block, which suits small kitchens and anyone who wants knives visible and within reach. Reviewers are split: the steel and edge hold up well for the money, but a few owners report the magnetic hold and finish falling short of expectations.

Best forHome cooks who want knives on the wall, not in a blockSmall kitchens with limited counter spaceBuying a first forged knife setGifting to someone setting up a kitchen
Pros
  • Forged high-carbon German steel blades with full tangs
  • Magnetic board saves counter space and keeps edges protected
  • Rounded handle is comfortable for long prep sessions
  • Five pieces cover the core tasks: chef, bread, utility, paring and board
  • Mercer supplies knives to professional kitchens, so the steel is proven
Cons
  • Only 11 ratings, so the reception is thin
  • Some owners say the magnets grip weakly and knives can shift
  • A few report handle and board finish issues out of the box
  • No honing steel or kitchen shears in the set

What reviewers say

  • 3.6 / 511 ratings

Owners who like it praise the sharp edge, the comfortable handle and the space saved by the magnetic board. Critics focus on the magnet strength and on finish quality, and the small number of ratings makes the picture incomplete.

What people mention
  • Magnet strengthCriticisedSome owners say the board's magnets hold the knives loosely and they can shift.
  • Edge sharpnessPraisedBuyers report the blades arrive sharp and stay usable through everyday cooking.
  • Handle comfortPraisedThe rounded, textured handles are described as comfortable and secure.
  • Build finishMixedSome praise the heft and build; others find finish flaws on handles or the board.

Questions and answers

What knives are in the set?
A chef's knife, a bread knife, a utility knife and a paring knife, plus the magnetic board. Check the listing for exact blade lengths, since Mercer has sold slightly different assortments under the Genesis name.
Is the steel good enough for daily cooking?
Yes. The blades are forged from high-carbon German steel with full tangs, which is a step above stamped budget knives. They will need periodic honing and occasional sharpening like any kitchen knife.
Will the knives stay on the magnetic board?
Usually, but this is the most common complaint. Some owners report weak hold and knives sliding. Mount the board securely and seat each blade flat against the surface.
Can the board be mounted on a wall?
It is designed as a magnetic board that can sit on a counter or be mounted. Confirm the mounting hardware in the box before you plan a wall installation.
Does it include a honing steel or shears?
No. The five pieces are the four knives and the board, so plan to add a honing steel separately.
How does it compare with a knife block set?
The magnetic board takes less counter depth and keeps edges exposed to air rather than slotting them into a block. A block set typically offers more pieces and a sharper slot for storage, but takes more room.
Where is the Mercer Culinary Genesis 5-Piece Magnetic Board Set cheapest?
At Walmart, for $129.00, 18% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Is the Mercer Culinary Genesis 5-Piece Magnetic Board Set at its lowest price?
Yes: $129.00 is the lowest price we've seen for it since October 31.
What do buyers say about the Mercer Culinary Genesis 5-Piece Magnetic Board Set?
Rated 3.6 out of 5 from 11 ratings.
Where can I buy the Mercer Culinary Genesis 5-Piece Magnetic Board Set?
