MAC Chef Series 8.5-inch Chef’s Knife
The HB-85 is the entry point to MAC chef’s knives: a narrow, light 8.5-inch blade in the Chef Series, stamped and bolsterless. It suits a cook buying a first Japanese knife and a professional who wants a spare knife for the line.The narrow blade gives a little more length than the 8-inch models for slicing proteins and long vegetables, and its low height makes it quick through onions and peppers. With less steel behind the edge, it is lighter than the BK-80 and less suited to dense squash or chopping through hard rinds.Choosing Between the Chef Series KnivesFor a taller blade and more knuckle clearance, see the BK-80. For a shorter knife from the same family, the 7.25-inch HB-70 is a compact gyuto for small boards. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains how blade height and profile change the way a knife cuts.

MAC Ultimate 9-inch Chef’s Knife
Cooks who like the weight of a German forged knife but want a thinner Japanese edge are the audience MAC designed the Ultimate Series for. The SBK-95 has the look and feel of a forged German chef’s knife, with a thinner blade.The larger bolster puts more weight behind the edge, which helps when chopping winter squash, breaking down a chicken at the joints or pushing through a pile of root vegetables. The blade is still stamped and thin enough to slice tomatoes cleanly, so the weight serves control rather than brute force. The trade-off is a knife that is heavier in the hand over a long prep list than the Chef or Professional models.The 10.25-inch SBK-105 is the longer Ultimate chef’s knife. For a lighter bolstered knife, compare the Professional MBK-85 and MBK-95. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains the French chef’s knife shape both lines follow. Learn More$319.95 -
MAC Chef Series 8-inch Chef’s Knife with Dimples
The TH-80 is the Chef Series counterpart to the Professional MTH-80. Both are 8-inch knives with dimples. The TH-80 has no bolster, so it is the lighter of the two and the blade runs straight back into the handle, which suits cooks who choke up on the blade or work long prep lists.Where It Fits in a Day of PrepThe thin Chef Series blade passes through onions and carrots with little wedging, and the dimples help release sliced potatoes, cucumbers and soft cheese. The profile has enough curve to rock through herbs. It is light enough to use for hours, though the absence of a bolster means less weight to drive the edge through dense squash.The same blade comes in a 10-inch length for larger volumes of prep, and the BK-80 is the undimpled version.

MAC Professional 8-inch Chef’s Knife with Dimples
The MTH-80 is the knife MAC itself describes as its most popular for everyday use. It is an 8-inch gyuto with a flat stretch of edge near the heel, so the blade stays in contact with the board for push cuts and fine dicing, and a tip fine enough for shallots and garlic.What the Dimples and Bolster DoA row of dimples above the edge breaks the seal that forms between a flat blade and wet or starchy food, so slices of potato, apple and summer squash fall away instead of riding up the knife. The bolster adds a little weight at the handle and gives the thumb and forefinger a firm place to pinch. Tempered using a special sub-zero treatment, this knife is both harder and tougher than others with the same steel composition. This knife has a traditional gyuto profile, unlike the other Mighty MACs in the Professional line, which have a French or Western profile.RecognitionThis knife has been named the Best Chef’s Knife Overall by Bon Appétit. It has also been named the Best Overall Chef’s Knife by Food & Wine and the Best Chef’s Knife for Most Cooks by Wirecutter.For a lighter knife with the same dimpled blade and no bolster, see the Chef Series TH-80. For a longer Professional knife with a French profile, compare the 9.5-inch MBK-95. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains how a gyuto differs from a Western chef’s knife. Learn More$159.95 -
MAC Chef Series 8.25-inch Non-Stick Sushi Chef’s Knife
Cutting maki cleanly takes a sharp, light blade that rice will not grab, and the BSX-85 is the longer of MAC’s coated knives for that work. Its 8.25-inch blade lets a sushi maker slice a full roll with one draw, and the non-stick surface lets rice and nori fall away rather than tearing.Outside of sushi, the coating helps with starchy and sticky ingredients such as potatoes and soft cheese. The thin Chef Series blade underneath keeps cuts precise, and the edge is bare steel sharpened like any other MAC.For a shorter coated knife, see the 7-inch BF-HB-70. For raw fish and sashimi, the traditional knife is a single-bevel yanagiba. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide compares the yanagi with the chef’s knife. Learn More$99.95 -
MAC Chef Series 7.25-inch Chef’s Knife
A small board, a galley kitchen or a smaller hand all favor a shorter chef’s knife, and the HB-70 brings the thin Chef Series blade down to 7.25 inches. It is long enough for onions and chicken thighs, and short enough to control closely on a crowded counter.The blade is narrow and light, with a fine tip for garlic and shallots and enough curve to rock through herbs. It also makes a capable second knife beside a longer chef’s knife, taking the small jobs that do not need a full-length blade.If you want more length from the same series, step up to the 8.5-inch HB-85 or the 8-inch BK-80. For a 7-inch knife with a non-stick coating, see the BF-HB-70. Our knife shapes guide compares chef’s knives with santokus and utility knives at this size. Learn More$72.95 -
MAC 5-inch Yellow Kid’s Knife
The MAC Kid’s Knife gives a child a working kitchen knife with safety built into its shape, so they can learn to chop and slice alongside an adult.The blade is MAC’s molybdenum stainless steel and is quite sharp along the cutting edge. However, the tip and heel of the knife have been rounded and dulled to prevent accidental nicks. The handle is oval and thin for small hands, and there is a hollow area for the index finger to make it easy for a child to apply the proper downward cutting pressure.Of course, these should be used with adult supervision, but this is an excellent way to introduce children to the fine art of cooking in the safest possible manner. We highly recommend this product. The yellow handle is also available in blue, green, orange, pink. Learn More$31.95
