Mac Superior Knives
Robust Build, Lasting Sharpness
The MAC Superior Series is an evolution of the Original line, engineered specifically for cooks who prefer a more substantial and durable knife. Its defining features are a thicker blade, measuring 2.0-2.5mm, and a larger, heavier handle for a more comfortable and secure grip.
Crafted from MAC's signature high-carbon Molybdenum Vanadium steel, these knives benefit from the brand's advanced heat treatment, including a sub-zero tempering process that ensures excellent edge retention and hardness. While sharing the same steel and renowned sharpness as other MAC lines, the Superior Series provides added weight and strength, making it exceptionally resilient for demanding, high-volume kitchen tasks.

MAC Superior 4-inch Santoku Paring Knife
The SK-40 is a small santoku: a 4-inch blade with a flat edge, a rounded nose and enough height to keep the knuckles off the board. It does the work of a parer for cooks who prefer to cut small items on the board rather than in the hand.The flat edge suits push cuts and fine chopping, so it minces garlic and cuts strawberries or cherry tomatoes neatly. The extra height also lets you scoop food off the board on the side of the blade. Because the tip is blunt, it is not the knife for coring or scoring; a pointed parer such as the HB-40 is better for those.The SK-40 is paired with the 6.5-inch santoku in the Superior santoku set, and with the Professional santoku in the MAC 2-piece santoku set. Our guide to knife shapes explains the santoku shape. Learn More$47.95 -
MAC Superior 5-inch Paring and Utility Knife
The MAC Superior Series 5-inch knife is a cross between a paring and a utility knife. Small and nimble enough to be used for traditional paring tasks, this blade has sufficient length to function as a utility knife. This knife has an up-swept handle, which creates room between your knuckles and the cutting board and is particularly helpful when slicing, chopping and dicing.The duality of this design adds tremendous function to this knife, making it a great choice for minimalists who would like to keep as few knives on hand as possible. The firmer Superior blade holds its line through the skin of a tomato or the rind of a lime.For a smaller parer, see the Original PK-40 or the Superior SK-40. For a longer Superior utility knife, the 7-inch SA-70. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes covers the small knives. Learn More$52.95
