MAC Professional 9.5-inch Chef’s Knife

The MAC Professional 9.5-inch Mighty Chef’s Knife is modeled after a traditional French chef’s knife; the tip is vertically positioned at the center of the blade. This is a highly functional shape that creates a very smooth rocking motion while maximizing the amount of contact the knife makes with the cutting board. This blade shape helps the user work quickly, maximizing efficiency, something especially important for professional cooks or anyone processing large amounts of food.

This is a workhorse that can be relied upon as your primary knife. This particular model is Meghan’s favorite chef knife. The 240mm length is long enough to suitably cut even the largest produce without becoming unwieldy. Although honing is not necessary with this blade, MAC knives can be easily maintained with a honing rod, which will significantly extend time between sharpenings. We highly recommend this knife and are very confident that you will find it to be a great addition to any collection.

The 8.5-inch MBK-85 is the shorter version for smaller boards, and the 10.75-inch MBK-110 is the longest Mighty MAC. Our kitchen knife shapes guide describes the French chef’s knife profile.

    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.
