MAC Professional 10.75-inch Chef’s Knife

The MBK-110 is the longest of the Mighty MACs, and it is modeled after a traditional French chef’s knife. It can be used for a variety of kitchen tasks, including mincing, dicing, slicing and chopping. This is a great all-around workhorse that has the length and versatility to be used for processing meats and fish in addition to handling long shifts of heavy prep work.

At this length the knife covers a full side of salmon, a whole brisket or a case of romaine with long strokes, and the bolster keeps the balance near the hand so the tip does not feel heavy. It needs a large board and room on the station; on a home counter, the 9.5-inch MBK-95 is easier to manage.

For a long knife with more heft, compare the Ultimate SBK-105. The Kitchen Knife Shapes guide describes the French profile this knife follows.

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.
