MAC Chef Series 10-inch Chef’s Knife with Dimples

MAC Chef Series 10-inch Chef’s Knife with Dimples

A 10-inch blade covers a whole cabbage, a large watermelon or a brisket in one stroke, and the TH-100 does it with the thin, light Chef Series build. It suits line cooks and caterers who prep in volume and want the reach of a long knife without the weight of a forged one.

The dimples sit above the edge along the full length, where long slicing strokes through potatoes and eggplant would otherwise leave food stuck to the steel. With no bolster, the heel can be sharpened all the way back, and the knife is easy to control in a pinch grip for its size.

If 10 inches feels like more blade than your board allows, the TH-80 has the same dimpled blade in 8 inches. The BK-100 is this knife without dimples, and the Ultimate SBK-105 adds weight for cooks who want a heavier long knife.

See our overview of chef’s knife shapes for how blade length affects control.

Keeping the Edge

MAC steel is harder than most German and American kitchen knife steel, so the edge is maintained with ceramic rather than a steel rod. As a rule of thumb, we use ceramic on steels greater than 60 Rockwell hardness. The MAC black ceramic honing rod and the white ceramic rod touch up the edge between sharpenings, and the MAC Togu sharpener resets the factory angle on a ceramic wheel.

Care

Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and dry the knife at once. Do not put it in a dishwasher.
MAC steel is stainless but not immune to spotting; do not leave the blade wet, soaking or in contact with acidic food.
Cut on wood or plastic boards. Keep the edge away from bone, frozen food and hard shells.
Warranty claims are handled by MAC directly.
