This PRO series chef's knife from MAC has broad appeal for most tasks and gives the knife good balance.

The knife here is a classic Western-style chef's knife, but one of the places where Japanese MAC differs from its European competitors is, for example, in the thickness of the knife.

The back of this knife is, as Japanese gyutos typically are - narrow. This means that you get a lighter knife than you would otherwise have, but most importantly it means that the knife cuts rather than cleaves. This is something that becomes very clear when you have to cut particularly hard vegetables and root vegetables - it is much easier with a narrow knife.

The air cutter is particularly suitable for working with meat and fish. When a knife moves through items as described above, the air cutter will draw air through, thereby reducing friction.

The hallmark of the MAC Pro series is high-quality knives, originally aimed at chefs and others who would use the knives professionally. They are designed to be tough and to be used for hours every day.

Like all other knives in our range, the usual basic rules apply to this knife. If you want to get the most out of your knife, sharpen it on a ceramic sharpening steel - and do it slowly. If it needs to be sharpened, do it on a wet stone or have it done by us. Never use a dishwasher to clean the knife, and do not cut into bones or frozen items - MAC is a tough knife, but you should always be careful. If you follow this, you will get a good knife for years.
