Knife Uses:

Utility Knife (10 cm): A smaller version of a chef’s knife, ideal for fruit, vegetables, meat, and garnishes. Its compact size allows for greater control and agility, perfect for precision work and smaller portions.

Santoku Knife (16.5 cm): A versatile Japanese-style knife meaning "three virtues" – meat, fish, and vegetables. With a slightly rounded tip and ideal blade length, it excels in slicing and fine chopping even in tight kitchen spaces. Its lightweight design makes it comfortable for extended use.

MAC Edge – Hybrid Cutting Angle

MAC knives are sharpened using the patented MAC Edge, a unique hybrid between Japanese and Western angles. Invented by MAC’s founder, Mr. Tatsuo Kobayashi in 1965, this technique enables more precise and thinner cuts than traditional V-shaped Western blades, while offering greater flexibility than single-bevel Japanese ones. This innovation is key to the worldwide reputation of MAC knives.

Exceptional Blade Design

The Professional Series blades are crafted from AUS-8 high carbon stainless steel, hand-sharpened on both sides to approximately 15°, giving them a uniquely effective cutting angle that blends the best of both Japanese and European styles.

Pakka Wood Handle

The first thing you touch is the handle. MAC’s ergonomic Pakka wood handle combined with the bolster weight creates perfect balance. It’s highly durable for kitchen use and provides a secure and comfortable grip for safe handling.

Made in Japan

Founded in 1965, MAC has sold over 30 million knives globally. Their blades have won numerous awards and are renowned for their precision, design, and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Care Tips:

To maintain performance and longevity, avoid dishwasher use. Hand wash with warm water and dry immediately. All knives need sharpening eventually—use a whetstone for best results. Softer steel may require more frequent honing or temporary sharpening with a honing rod.
