MAC Fish Fillet Knife 20 cm Chef Series BNS-80

Engineered for professional chefs and passionate home cooks alike, the Chef Series by MAC combines Japanese craftsmanship with European design elements for a line of kitchen knives that excel in sharpness, precision, and balance.

Unmatched Cutting Performance Each knife in the Chef Series features a 2.0–2.5 mm thin blade crafted from MAC’s exclusive AUS-8 molybdenum stainless steel, known for its high carbon content and excellent edge retention. Lightweight yet robust, these blades make quick work of slicing, dicing, and chopping—whether you’re prepping vegetables, filleting fish, or carving meats.

Hybrid MAC Edge Every Chef Series knife is hand-sharpened in Japan using MAC’s patented hybrid MAC Edge, which merges the precision of traditional Japanese single-bevel angles with the versatility of European V-shaped blades. This innovative edge allows for finer, cleaner cuts and smoother slicing with minimal effort.

European-Inspired Design with Japanese Precision With a straight handle aligned with the spine and a pointed tip, these knives maintain classic European shapes, while benefiting from MAC’s Japanese craftsmanship. The full-tang construction ensures durability and the pakka wood handle offers a secure, ergonomic grip that withstands the demanding environment of a busy kitchen.

Perfect Balance of Power and Precision The Chef Series knives offer a broad, slightly curved blade, ideal for rocking motions during fine chopping, while retaining the weight and control needed for handling tougher ingredients. This makes the chef’s knife a true all-rounder—your most valuable tool in the kitchen.

Crafted for Longevity Every knife is honed by hand by experienced artisans in Japan, ensuring a sharp, reliable edge from the very first cut. Thanks to the corrosion-resistant AUS-8 steel and durable construction, these knives are built to last with proper care.

The fillet knife is designed to provide precision and ease of use. Its long, narrow blade is extremely flexible, allowing you to slice through meat or fish with minimal resistance and prepare perfect fillets in seconds. Ideal for filleting fish such as salmon, swordfish, and trout, as well as for trimming all types of meat.

BNS-80 is a great fillet knife for fishermen and hunters.
