MAC Frozen Knife 22 cm Chef Series FC-90

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.

The Frozen Knife from MAC’s Chef Series is an impressive kitchen tool. It is specially designed for cutting frozen foods without waiting for them to thaw. The knife features a Pakka wood handle and an ultra-sharp steel blade. The blade has deep grooves and serrations at the edge, similar to a bread knife. These grooves help the blade slice through frozen foods without breaking them apart. Use the Frozen Knife to cut frozen bread or large pieces of meat. You can cut exactly what you need and keep the rest frozen for later. This knife eliminates the need to defrost entire portions of food, allowing for precise cuts of smaller servings, minimizing waste and preserving the rest for future use.

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.
