Hybrid cutting MAC Edge

First introduced in 1965 by founder Tatsuo Kobayashi, the patented MAC Edge combines the best of both worlds: the thin, precision-friendly angle of Japanese single-bevel knives and the durability of Western V-shaped blades. Sharpened to an approximate 15° angle per side, this hybrid bevel ensures surgical precision, effortless slicing, and reduced resistance through food—making MAC knives a favorite among top chefs globally.

Superior Blade Craftsmanship

Crafted from sub-zero AUS-8 steel, the Superior Series blades offer exceptional hardness and long-lasting performance. The sub-zero treatment process involves cooling the steel below freezing during heat treatment, aligning its microstructure to enhance edge retention, strength, and wear resistance. With molybdenum added for rust resistance, these knives are built to endure the rigors of professional use.

Comfortable & Durable Handle Design

The ergonomic Pakka wood handle is slightly larger than typical Japanese knives, offering a secure and balanced grip for both novice and experienced cooks. Its composite construction resists moisture and heat, perfect for demanding kitchen environments. The seamless integration with the blade ensures hygiene and control in every motion.

The Utility Knife

The utiliy knife is a smaller version of the chef's knife, making it versatile for a wide range of tasks. Perfect for portioning meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits, its compact size and shorter blade allow for greater maneuverability. Ideal for small portions and intricate tasks like carving and garnishing.

Utility Knife SA-70

This knife was designed as a miniature version of the Santoku to function both as a paring knife and as a small utility knife. The up-swept handle and taller blade profile allows greater knuckle clearance so that it can be used on the cutting board to chop and slice small items.

Knife Specifications:
