MAC Original 9-inch Wide Carving Knife

The CK-90 is the carving knife of the MAC Original Series: a thin 9-inch blade, wider than a slicer, for ham, roasts and turkey, and even large fruits and vegetables. The hole near the tip allows you to hang the knife for storage.

The width keeps the blade straight through a tall roast, so each slice has an even thickness top to bottom, and the thin Original Series steel slips through cooked meat with little drag. It also makes neat work of a melon or a pineapple.

The CK-90 is part of the Original 4-piece set. For longer slicers, compare the MKS-105 and the SL-115. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains carving and slicing knives.

    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.
