This is the choice of the home cook and professional seeking just a bit more reach than an 8" knife can provide. The blade profile is reminiscent of the great Sabatier chefs knives of old, and with it's great rocking point, and long flat on the edge, it will prove to be a real performer in the kitchen as well. At 9.5" on the edge, 2.5mm thick on the spine, and great taper to under 1mm within an inch of the tip, the proportions are all right. Using their proprietary chrome-moly vanadium steel, this blade is able to take a keen edge, and remains tough on hard impacts. MAC warrants this knife against defects in materials and workmanship for 25 years. This knife is not dishwasher safe.

      Mac 9.5’ mighty
    Posted By: Chris

    I ordered the Mac mighty 9.5 chef knife from CKTG and so glad I did. The ease and rapid turn around time was incredible especially with shipping issues around the holiday season. CKTG is the only knife source I’ll be dealing with from now on and I usually don’t shop for professional knives online. I’m an executive sous chef for a large catering company and prep heavy daily, my MAC knife is incredibly sharp, well balanced, easy on the wallet compared to my other knives. To know that CKTG also sharpens knives is also a great source when I’m too busy to whetstone myself. I’ve yet to use that service but wouldn’t hesitate since viewing their website sharpening techniques. Thanks you guys for the awesome knife and can’t wait to utilize your sharpening service.

    Excellent Knife. We bought our first one a couple of years ago. Stays sharp, easy to maintain sharpness with a good steel. Love it so much we bought this one as a gift to our son and daughter in law.

      Great Knife
    Posted By: Matt

    My first Japanese knife.

    It's true that it's more of a hybrid between western and japanese style knives. It's a great intro to japanese knives for anyone coming from wusthof, henckels, etc.

    It's extremely sharp out of the box, and has great edge retention. Super light. Sharpens easily. Not as chippy as shuns. Can do delicate work like brunoise, and can handle product like squash, potatoes, etc.


    Have been using MAC for years as a professional cook in all kinds of settings, and this is my go to knife.

    I started out as a cook with German knives. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would tell my younger self to spend the xtra cash on this knife.

    Anyone working in the industry would benefit from having this knife.

      Great knife, but minor flaws
    Posted By: Nick - verified customer

    I've had this knife for about 2 months and it's been great. The steel scratches very easily though. The blade was scratched when I received it and now even more so. I'm not sure how it continues to get scratched considering how carefully I treat it. My bigger issue is that the last inch or two of the blade curves to the right by 1/32. It's not visually obvious and doesn't appreciably affect performance, but it bothers me now that I've noticed it. I'll admit that I can be a nitpicker, but I had hoped that almost $200 would buy something closer to perfection.

    This is an excellent knife. Very sharp out the box. The handle is very comfortable. The only quip I have is that the wood around the underbelly of the handle seemed to raise up a little so as not to be seamless after the first or second time I hand washed the knife (the knife was never submerged in water, only run underneath the tap for rinsing). Handle aside, I love the knife and it's length. The length took some getting used to, but it's wonderful once you make room for it.

    This has become my main go-to knife in the kitchen. Coming from a forged German chef's knife, the MAC is far more nimble and versatile. It's a perfect meld of Western and Japanese design. The bolsterless blade produces a much more comfortable pinch grip. Also, since there's no bolster to push your fingers back, the 9.5 is MUCH easier to control for fine work than even an 8 German blade. The length is a nice compromise for folks who find a 10 too long. It's not a short knife by any stretch, but it's a sensibly sized blade. Out of the box, it's shaving sharp with a beautifully finished blade. An occasional touch-up on the MAC ceramic honing rod keeps it that way, even with hard professional use.

    Awesome knife, feels well balanced in my hand (not nearly as heavy as a wusthof or german style knife). After performing a variety of kitchen tasks ranging from choping onions to breaking down a chicken, I was really happy with how well the knife cut!

    This is a really well designed knife, fits well in your hand, and is razor sharp. Slicing has never been easier. I hated using dull chef's knives to cut up vegetables, so I spent some money on a nice knife and this was totally worth it.

    This is the best mass produced knife I own - my first foray into Japanese knives, and still one of the favorites in my ever growing collection.The Blade is super thin and good geometry with a bit of curve(good to rock) and flex(not crazy flex, but coupled with its lightweight, enough to make it real nimble)... The steel is not the hardest out there, but it will hold an edge for awhile... the mac pro sharpens better and easier than any knife in my collection.Meanwhile, the handle and overall fit and finish are great. This knife does real work in the hand and feels really good doing it.At this price point, I would buy this knife with no hesitation.

    This gyuto was my entrance into Japanese knives and I still use it almost every day.I think of it as a great compromise between the German classics and the Japanese blades. The blade profile is somewhere between the shallowness of the gyuto and the stout rock ability of the Germans. It is slightly lighter than something like a Henckels but retains some of the heft that German knife users might have come to like. Its western handle is very comfortable but it eliminates the heavy bolster found on older German knives.I would wholeheartedly recommend this knife as a smooth transition from house knives or Germans into the world of Japanese cutlery. You'll continue using it even after you've become obsessed and have started to buy custom Japanese show-off pieces.
