Mac Professional Knives
Japanese Precision, European Heft
The MAC Professional Series is the ultimate fusion of Japanese precision and classic European design, engineered for chefs who love MAC's legendary edge but prefer the weight and feel of a German-style knife.
The defining feature of this series is the addition of a bolster, which provides perfect balance, a secure finger guard, and adds substantial weight to the knife. Unlike traditional German knives the MAC bolster doesn't continue all the way to the edge of the knife. This bolster adds balance and comfort without impeding sharpenability or performance. Paired with a robust 2 to 2.5mm thick blade, these knives offer the heft and resilience favored in demanding professional kitchens. While delivering a familiar, powerful feel, the Professional Series is forged from MAC's signature high-carbon Molybdenum Vanadium steel, ensuring the exceptionally sharp and lasting edge the brand is famous for. For the professional chef or serious home cook, this series offers the best of both worlds.

MAC Professional 6.5-inch Santoku with Dimples
The MSK-65 is the santoku of the MAC Professional Series, with a bolster for balance and a row of dimples along the blade. It is one of the two Professional knives MAC makes in its sub-zero tempered Superior steel, alongside the MTH-80 chef’s knife.The flat edge suits push cuts and chopping, and the dimples help release sticky food such as sliced potatoes, cucumbers and apples. The bolster gives a secure pinch grip. It is a good choice for a cook who wants a compact main knife with a little more weight than a plain santoku.For a lighter santoku without a bolster, see the Superior SK-65. The MSK-65 is also part of the MAC 2-piece santoku set. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide compares the santoku with the chef’s knife. Learn More$139.95 -
MAC Professional 6-inch Utility Knife
The PKF-60 is the longest utility knife in the MAC Professional Series, a 6-inch narrow blade with the bolster used throughout the line. It suits the cook who wants one small knife for slicing and trimming jobs that would be awkward with a chef’s knife.Six inches is enough to slice a baguette sandwich, trim the fat from a pork chop or portion a block of cheese, and the narrow blade turns easily around the curve of a melon rind. It can also stand in as a steak knife at the table.If your cutting is mostly small produce, the shorter PKF-50 is easier to control. Compare the utility knives in the table in the Details, and see our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide for how the utility knife differs from a parer. Learn More$74.95 -
MAC Professional 5-inch Utility Knife
The Mac Professional 5-inch Utility Knife is made for cutting or slicing medium-sized foods. When a paring knife is just too short and a chef’s knife seems too long, this utility knife will be just right. The narrow blade can even be used for small boning tasks.In practice that means slicing a sandwich, halving limes for service, trimming chicken thighs and cutting cheese for a board. The bolster gives the same grip and balance as the larger Professional knives, so it feels familiar beside a MTH-80.For a little more reach, the PKF-60 is the 6-inch model. For a smaller blade, the PKF-30. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains where utility knives fit. Learn More$69.95 -
MAC Professional 3.25-inch Paring Knife
The PKF-30 is the shortest knife in the MAC Professional Series, a 3.25-inch parer with a bolster. The short, pointed blade gives close control for in-hand work such as hulling strawberries, peeling shallots and trimming Brussels sprouts, and the bolster gives the fingers a solid stop.Because the blade is short, the hand sits near the tip, which makes it the right parer for fine, careful cuts: segmenting citrus, removing seeds from chiles and scoring the skin of tomatoes before blanching. For slicing small items on the board, a longer parer such as the Chef Series HB-40 or the 5-inch PKF-50 gives more edge to work with.Compare the parers in the table in the Details, or see our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide.
