MAC Chef's Knife 18 cm Black Series BF-HB-70

The Black Coated Series by MAC is where Japanese craftsmanship meets modern design. These knives feature thin, ultra-sharp blades made of high-carbon AUS-8 stainless steel, coated with a sleek black Teflon® non-stick layer for smooth, frictionless cutting.

Every detail in the Black Series is designed to elevate your culinary experience, from the ergonomic Pakka wood handles to the hybrid MAC Edge, which offers unmatched sharpness and control.

AUS-8 High-Carbon Stainless Steel The blades are made from AUS-8 steel, enriched with molybdenum to provide excellent hardness, long-lasting sharpness, and resistance to corrosion.

Teflon® Non-Stick Coating The black Teflon coating helps reduce friction and prevents food from sticking, making cutting and cleaning easier.

Hand-Sharpened Hybrid MAC Edge Each knife is sharpened by hand in Japan to a hybrid double-bevel edge of approximately 15 degrees per side. This unique edge combines the precision of Japanese-style blades with the versatility of Western-style knives.

Ergonomic Pakka Wood Handle The handle is shaped for a comfortable, secure grip, providing perfect balance and control. Pakka wood is highly durable and resistant to moisture, making it ideal for demanding kitchen environments.

Made in Seki, Japan Every knife is crafted by expert artisans in the knife-making capital of Japan, blending traditional methods with modern engineering.

Effortless Cutting The razor-sharp, thin blade glides through ingredients with minimal resistance. Whether you’re slicing tomatoes or filleting fish, the MAC Black Series delivers performance with ease.

Stylish and Functional Design The black blade and natural wood handle give the knife a sophisticated and modern appearance that stands out in any kitchen.

Long-Lasting Sharpness With a Rockwell hardness of HRC 59 and hand-honed edges, the MAC Black Series knives stay sharper for longer and require minimal maintenance.

Versatility in the Kitchen Ideal for everyday use, from chopping vegetables to slicing meats and fish. The chef’s knife is especially useful for rocking cuts, precision dicing and bulk prep.

The Chef's knife is every professional and amateur cook's favorite knife, and for a good reason. It has probably the most uses of any other knife in the kitchen, since you can use it to cut large portions, chop or cut from vegetables and fruits to meat and fish. Its wide and curved blade makes it ideal for fast cutting through the well-known motion. The thickness of the blade on the back is enough to give you the weight and power you need, and its length covers a wide range of daily tasks.
