Mac Original Knives
The Iconic Lightweight Performer
Discover the iconic series that first brought MAC's revolutionary performance to kitchens worldwide. The Original Series is the foundation of the MAC legend, celebrated for its unique design and effortless cutting ability.
Characterized by their incredibly thin, razor-sharp blades, these knives are designed to glide through food with minimal effort, reducing fatigue and making prep work a pleasure. The design is as intelligent as it is unique: the handle is angled upward to provide ample knuckle clearance on the cutting board, while a rounded safety tip adds a layer of protection. Instantly recognizable by the signature hole in the blade for convenient hanging storage, the Original Series remains a favorite for its nimble feel, lasting sharpness, and timeless performance.

MAC Original 4-inch Paring Knife
The Mac Original 4-inch Paring Knife was designed with comfort in mind. Use this paring knife when peeling, paring or slicing small fruits and vegetables, and you will find that the up-swept handle fits comfortably into your hand. A hole near the rounded tip makes it easy to hang.The rounded tip is a safety feature of the Original Series, and it makes the knife a good choice for a kitchen with several cooks or for anyone who carries a parer loose in a drawer. It is less suited to jobs that need a point, such as coring tomatoes or scoring; the Chef Series HB-40 has a pointed tip for those.The PK-40 is also part of the 2-piece and 3-piece Original sets. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers the paring knife and its variations. Learn More$33.95 -
MAC Original 6.75-inch Fillet Knife, No Hole
The FK-70N is the same knife as the FK-70, without the hanging hole near the tip. Some cooks and processors prefer a solid blade, which leaves nothing to catch fish scales or residue and presents a clean face.The thin, flexible Original Series blade bends along the backbone of a trout or a snapper and over the rib bones, lifting the fillet with little waste. The rounded tip is kept from the original design. It also slices smoked salmon and cured meats thinly.For a longer fillet knife, compare the SF-85.

MAC Original 6.75-inch Fillet Knife
The FK-70 is a thin, flexible fillet knife in the MAC Original Series, made for better control when filleting fish. The flex lets the blade bend along the backbone and over the rib cage, so more of the fillet comes away from the frame.It has the rounded tip and the hanging hole of the Original Series. It is extremely sharp out of the box and has a very comfortable handle. Beyond fish, the thin blade slices sushi rolls, ham, bread and even cakes neatly. The knife is also part of the Original 3-piece set.If you would rather not have the hole in the blade, the FK-70N is the same knife without it. For a longer fillet knife, see the SF-85.
