The MAC Sushi Chef eX line takes a different approach to the standard MAC aesthetic - a matte black nonstick coating over the molybdenum steel blade gives it a distinctly modern look that stands apart from the polished or satin finishes of the broader MAC lineup. MAC Knife has been making professional kitchen knives in Seki City, Japan since 1964, pioneering the Japanese knife market in the US before most American cooks knew what a gyuto was. The Sushi Chef eX brings that 60-year track record to a format that suits both sushi preparation and general all-purpose kitchen work.
At 213mm blade length and 45mm height with a 2mm spine and HRC 60 this gyuto is light, thin, and well-suited for the kind of precise, controlled cuts that sushi and sashimi preparation demands. The black nonstick coating reduces food sticking through extended prep work. Black pakka wood handle is practical in a professional kitchen environment - durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean. At 5 oz it is agile and fast in hand. A distinctive mac knife for cooks who want something visually different from the standard stainless lineup without sacrificing the performance MAC has built its reputation on.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after each use - never dishwasher. Avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard crusts. The black nonstick coating is durable but avoid metal scourers or abrasive cleaners that could damage it. Sharpen on quality water stones using light pressure to maintain the coating at the edge.
