The knife that received top honors in both Bon Appetite and Cook's Illustrated magazines against all other knives tested. We agree, this has been our top knife recommendation for the last two years for a chef style knife. The ideal Japanese-style chef's Knife, this MAC santuko knife is a multiple-use, 6 1/2 inch kitchen knife that offers durability, sharpness and convenience. Designed specifically for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables, the MAC 4 inch Santuko Parer also doubles as a fantastic cheese knife. Possesses an ergonomic handle, offset to protect the fingers and boasting the classic Japanese design that allows for optimum leverage, this is the ideal companion to the popular SK-65 Superior Santuko. These two knives make a fabulous duo for anyone who loves to cook!

MAC Knives

MAC Knives has an incredibly complete line of impressive, functional Japanese kitchen cutlery. Ergonomically designed with minimal heft, the effect of this knife style is described as fast and precise. The highly touted line's fantastic utility and design is underscored by its use in the finest commercial kitchens worldwide - It is perfect for a busy kitchen because of the unique rounded point, preventing accidents, and the convenient hanging hole in the blade tip (on some models). However, do not be fooled, the high carbon, Molybdenum Vanadium/Tungsten Steel blade is razor sharp with a 45.5 degree blade, as opposed to the standard 76 degree blade on the average American or German-made kitchen knife. The incredible steel in these knives places MAC Knives in the top 5 sharpest knife lines in the world and offers durability because of its unique blend of blade materials, including 14 percent rust-resistant chrome, which allows give and not the cracking that an incredibly high carbon knife possesses. Corrosion and rust are two of a kitchen knife's worst enemies - but not the MAC that resists corrosion and rusting, maintaining an edge that is not only clean, but remains sharp over time and can be used constantly for lengthy periods without need of sharpening. MAC Knives are so terrific that Chicago chef, Charlie Trotter recommended them in the July, 2001, edition of Food and Wine Magazine because of the light heft and precise cutting ability.
