THE MAC EDGE
The razor sharp blades of stain resistant MAC knives are harder than most
stainless steel knives on the market, but not to the point where they are
impossible to sharpen. By making the knives with a hardness between 58
and 60 degrees Rockwell C, the knives can be sharpened with the characteristic
"MAC edge" . The MAC edge allows straighter and thinner slicing than the traditional
European V-shaped edge, and is far more versatile than the single beveled
Japanese KATABA edge. |

STAY SHARP LONGER
All western models of MAC knives have blades made of rust resistant high-carbon
Chrome Molybdenum Vanadium alloy, with Tungsten added for selected models
to increase hardness even further. Extreme care is taken to keep down the
temperature of the metal during the grinding and sharpening process, thereby
optimizing the hardness of the finished blade. Every stain resistant blade
is carefully hand-sharpened by professional knife smiths from the renowned
Seki region in Japan. Quality materials combined with the best of craftsmanship
produce a blade that can retain its sharpness several times longer than
other leading knife brands. |

THINNER BLADES
The high quality blades are thinner than other brands, which allows them
to slice effortless through almost anything without getting lodged or breaking
the slice. |

SUPERIOR ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Ergonomic design of both blade and handle developed since 1964 in close
cooperation with the professional people that use the knives. We have a
knife for every cooking task, all razor sharp and perfectly balanced.

MAC also has a large selection of traditional Japanese knives, spanning from the more affordable knives manufactured in Seki, to the luxurious hand-forged Honyaki knives manufactured entirely by hand in Sakai, using the old sword-forging techniques passed down through generations.The skillfully forged high-carbon steel allows for an edge that is truly "scary sharp". Sakai hand-forged knives are not rust resistant and require a little extra care, but they offer the ultimate cutting experience. Click here for more details.
