Mac Knife Chef Series Hollow Edge Chef's Knife, 8-Inch

I have this knife and Shun 10". I prefer the MAC for everyday tasks. It the perfect size and balance. This model is a bit more durable than the MAC mth-80 model. Remember, there is always a tradeoff between sharpness and durability. If you want the sharpest knife, go with the mth-80, but don't cry when you chip the blade. The sharper the knife, usually the harder the metal, hence it is more brittle, but will retain an edge longer.

Of course, you can avoid chips by using the correct tool for the right job, but most people only learn this after they have chipped a couple nice knives. My Shun is definitely a harder and sharper material than my Mac, but it also has a couple large chips from friends.

If I could only take one tool from my kitchen on a desert island, it would be this knife!

My mom has had her MAC knife for over 25 years, it is beat, but still her favorite knife.

THE best knife! Use it for just about everything, except boning. Wound up buying another MAC knife for paring, and will purchase one for cutting chicken, etc., because I love THIS knife SO much!! Stays sharp for what seems like FOREVER and cuts like butter. Absolutely worth every penny. Just remember to wash immediately after using and never, EVER put it in the dishwasher. You'll definitely be pleased you bought it!!

I have been cooking most of my life. I have purchased numerous quality knives at various prices. All the gimmicks, all the "best", all the Top Chef recommended. $600 plus for one. And what knife has lasted and been used over and over with minimum care and attention? This one. A quick honing before and after each use, and I can run down a rack of ribs, slice a tomato, chop and onion, carrot celery and herbs, and turn a pork tenderloin into medallions without ever changing the knife while prepping. While serving I can use it just as easily to carve a bird or roast beef or pork.

When I guest cook or cater this is one of three knives I never forget. The other two are just about any bread knife or paring knife.

Buy it, take care f it, and it will take care of your kitchen needs.

I bought this knife as well as the santoku knife a year ago. They are wonderful to use and I would recommend them to anyone who spends enjoys cooking. My wife thought I was being extravagant when I got them, but she has now made the santoku "her knife" and left me with the cooks. They are both wonderful to work with. We do a lot of chopping. We have a large organic garden and I also like to stir fry. One of our favorite salads is finely chopped lettuce, red sweet pepper, apple, carrot, cucumber and feta cheese. With these knives it's a joy. Do yourself a favor and get at least one MAC knife. In order to keep them at peak sharpness I recommend the porcelain sharpener as well. Remember to clean the sharpener or it stops working.

I decided to spend big bucks and buy one knife to improve my cooking (and make it less of a chore). This knife does the job. Excellent quality, not too heavy or too light. I'm able to chop any vegetables as finely as I want to. It is very sharp right now, but I plan to regularly take it to a professional knife sharpener in the future to keep it well-maintained.
