The MAC Mighty Chefs Knife is a quintessential example of what every kitchen should have at least one of. The chefs knife is easily the most used tool in every professional, and home kitchen (or at least it should be... put those can openers down). The MAC mighty weighs in at a solid middleweight 7.2 ounces, with a length of 215mm, and a blade thickness at the spine of 2.3mm. MAC's proprietary chromium, molybdenum, vanadium high carbon steel alloy is semi stainless, and features great hardness for edge retention, while remaining tough to prevent chipping. MAC offers their 25 year warranty with this knife, but something tells us you probably won't need it. MAC wisely advises its customers that their knives are not dishwasher safe.
Weight: 7.5 oz/ 212g
Blade Length: 227 mm
Overall Length: 333 mm
Spine Thickness at Heel: 2.3 mm
Blade Height at Heel: 47.7 mm

If I could have only one knife..., August 6, 2022Posted By: Sam
If I could have only one knife and it needed to do anything this would be my choice. I really like the in-between size and everything else about it. This knife sharpens easily and takes a nice edge and holds that edge well. I have had no issues with chipping or durability in general. Overall I just really like how it feels in my hand and how it performs. I am sure there are better knives out there which I have just not found yet but so far this one is at the top of my list. I also appreciate that MAC has a warranty. I feel that if a company is going to stand behind their knife that is a good thing. Highly recommended!

Even though the US market is now flooded with Japanese kitchen knives, the MAC pro will hold it's ground. Very good ss blade. It's a real kitchen knife. It is not a whippy laser nor a heavy German style knife. The 8.5 MAC pro has perfect balance. I have NEVER used a knife that has this good of a feel in my hand. I would not recommend the 8.5 or the 9.5 for a womens hand. This is a different handle than the 8 Mighty. Craftmanship is very good, not perfect. Blade geometry suits me very well. I would say a solid 4.5 stars. I will add a final note; many people comment how easy the MAC pro's are to sharpen, I did not find that to be the case. I put a super nice polished edge on it, but it's harder steel than I would have thought. Still highly recommended!

When the knife arrived, the sharpness was acceptable. It certainly was not this OOTB razor that many claim MAC's are. The knife has a fantistic feel in the hand. Very no fatigue when using at all. QC of craftmanship is good, not great. Overall, I would recommend this knife. I do believe that there are better values than MAC blade wise. Handle wise, this is as good as it gets for me. I deduct 1/2 star for value and QC.
