MAC Professional 8.5" Chef's Knife

Beautiful knife. Purchased as a wedding gift. Now planning on ordering one for myself!

I am very happy with the MAC 8" chef's knife. It is exactly as described - balanced, incredibly sharp, and not overly flashy. Cutlery & More delivered it quickly and it arrived in perfect condition. I could not be happier.

I needed a new all around workhorse knife cause my older one just wasnt keeping its edge anymore, and i didnt want to have to pay hundreds of dollars for a decent knife. this mac is so sharp and the weight of it in your hand is nice and balanced, which keeps it comfortable for long periods of use. I am cautious against letting my coworkers use it though because i know they wont take care of it like i do (ie i dont open cans with my knives like they do). I am very happy with this purchase

The Mac Professional Chefs Knife is a great tool. Sharp out of the box and light weight, making it great for repetitive tasks. It goes through meat and vegetables like a hot blade through butter.

At first, because of the lightness and new handle shape, it felt awkward in my hand. But after about eight hours of use it feels extremely comfortable. The fault was in my hand, not the knife.

For anyone working in a fast professional setting this is a great tool. However, if one is also doing a lot of mincing of large quantities of produce at once, they may want to have another larger knife to hand to sub in for that specific task. The Mac knife can do that task, but because it’s small and light, it feels a little suboptimal.

Love it so far! Heard about how light it was and was concerned about it being too light. One of the reasons I don't like global is for them being too light for simple chopping. But I did a little simple chopping to test how I felt about it, thought it was great! Been having fun with it.
