Mac Professional 9.7 in. (245mm) Mighty Chef Knife
The Mac Professional 9.7 in. (245mm) Mighty Chef Knife is modeled after a traditional French chef's knife; the tip is vertically positioned at the center of the blade. This is a highly functional shape that creates a very smooth rocking motion while maximizing the amount of contact the knife makes with the cutting board. This blade shape helps the user work quickly, maximizing efficiency, something especially important for professional cooks or anyone processing large amounts of food. This is a workhorse that can be relied upon as your primary knife. This particular model is Meghan's favorite chef knife. The 240mm length is long enough to suitably cut even the largest produce without becoming unwieldy. Although honing is not necessary with this blade, MAC knives can be easily maintained with a steel honing rod which will significantly extend time between sharpenings. We highly recommend this knife and are very confident that you will find it to be a great addition to any collection. Learn More$234.95 -
MAC 5-inch Pink Kid's Knife
The Mac 5 in. Kid's Knife is the perfect gift for a child that is interested in cooking. Have them learn to mince, dice, chop and slice with this handy little knife. After use, rinse the knife by hand with soapy and water, and make sure it's dry before putting it away. The Mac kid's knife was designed to provide children with a truly functional knife that has several safety features to maximize safety. The blade is constructed of 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 made of Lamar resin, which is both comfortable and slip-resistant. There is a hollow area designed for the index finger to make it easy for a child to apply the proper downward cutting pressure. Blade length is 5 inches, with a handle length of 4 inches. Of course, these should be used with adult supervision, but this is an excellent way to introduce children to the fine are of cooking in the safest possible manner. We highly recommend this product.
