27 products

MAC knives are high-performance Japanese kitchen knives produced in Seki City, Japan, a region renowned for superior sword manufacturing since the Middle Ages. Crafted by professional Japanese craftsmen, MAC combines traditional techniques with modern precision to create knives trusted by chefs worldwide.

MAC blades are known for their thin razor sharp blades and a western V-shaped edge, often referred to as the characteristic MAC edge. This shaped edge allows for straight cuts, clean slicing, and excellent control — whether filleting fish, thin slicing vegetables, or finely chopping cloves of garlic.

Each finished blade is hand ground and hand sharpened using water-cooled stones, achieving optimal hardness on the Rockwell C scale. Slightly off-centre blade geometry improves food release while allowing the knife to stay sharp longer than many other leading knife brands.

The result is an extremely versatile knife range offering the ultimate combination of sharpness, durability, and ease of use — a good knife choice for both professional chefs and serious home cooks.
