Knives

Stop Fighting Your Ingredients and Start Gliding In a high-pressure kitchen, friction is the enemy of speed. Standard stainless steel blades often create a vacuum effect when slicing starchy potatoes or moisture-heavy sushi rolls, leading to 'bunching' and ruined presentation. The Mac Chef Series 5.3-inch (135mm) Non-Stick Utility Knife (BF-HB-55) is specifically engineered to solve this workflow bottleneck. By bonding an industrial-grade black fluorine resin to a vacuum-hardened AUS8 steel core, Mac has created a tool that effectively eliminates surface tension. Japanese Precision Meets Industrial Innovation At the heart of the BF-HB-55 is high-carbon Japanese stainless steel, hardened to 60 Rockwell. This provides the professional-grade edge retention required for miles of vegetable prep without the micro-chipping common in lower-tier steels. The 5.3-inch blade length strikes the perfect balance between the control of a paring knife and the capability of a small Santoku. Its flat profile allows for clean, vertical 'mini-Nakiri' chops, making it a favorite for processing shallots, garlic, and scallions. Designed for the High-Volume Sushi Station For the sushi chef, this knife is a revelation. The fluorine coating ensures that vinegar-seasoned rice won't cling to the blade, while the razor-sharp edge zips through nori without tearing or snagging. Whether you are a line cook managing a 10-hour shift or a home enthusiast looking to perfect your sashimi presentation, the ergonomic Pakkawood handle and lightweight Japanese balance provide hours of fatigue-free performance. This isn't just another utility knife; it is a precision instrument designed for those who demand absolute hygiene, speed, and aesthetic perfection. Learn More

The MAC Chef Series 5.9 inch (150mm) Boning Knife has a large contoured pakkawood handle that can be easily held in a standard or reverse grip. The blade is straight along the spine with a cutting edge that curves to meet the tip. This blade shape can be easily maneuvered around bones, through joints and along a fat cap. Well-suited for work with meat, fish or poultry, the MAC Chef Series Boning Knife is a great choice for cooks, cutters, hunters or fishermen. Made using high-quality Japanese AUS-8 steel this knife has much better edge retention than most boning knives, but can steel be sharpened with a honing steel. This is a very practical knife choice for professionals looking for high performance at a mid to low price point. Learn More
