MAC Professional 9.5" Chef's Knife

Excellent knife—just the right length and weight for most cutting tasks. Great balance (and a fine price with quick delivery too)!

Good value, hard working, perfect chefs knife.

Purchased MAC Professional 8” MTH 80 chef knives as gifts for each of my sons who love to cook and both were sooo excited to receive! Neither had a “good” chef’s knife and after researching, this seemed it would be a good fit. The MAC MTH 80 did not disappoint. My younger son said he can’t believe how much easier prep is with this knife. It’s super sharp, well balanced and he loves the weight & feel of it in his hand. Both are very happy with their first Japanese knives. Just need to get one for myself!

I have always had German knifes (Wusthof) and have avoided Japanese knifes. well, that was just silly. I now have two MACs' the MTH-80 and the TH-80. I love them both, not sure witch one I like better. the MTH-80 is a bet heaver and is balanced at the bolster. The TH-80 is a bit handle heavy, but it is such a lightweight knife you don't even notice it. You can't go wrong either way. Just depends on your budget and how much you are willing to spend. I find myself grabbing the MAC's more often than the more expensive Wusthofs.

This thing is sharp, super well balanced and just feels great in the hands.
