Mac Knives

Japanese kitchen knives handcrafted since 1964

MAC Knives are made within Seki City, an area within Japan that has a rich history of being the epicentre of Japanese sword-making. Unlike other Japanese knives, MAC has earned a reputation for producing hybrid of Japanese and Western-styled knives, a combination of sharpness and control with the durability of wider Western 45.5-degree edges.

MAC Knives are comprised of rust-resistant Chrome Molybdenum Vanadium High-Carbon cutlery steel, with Tungsten added to various models. This creates a balance of extra durability and sharpness. The blades are hand-ground sharpened on water-cooled stones to optimize the quality of the finished blade.  

Each MAC knife's steel features a Rockwell C hardness between 57º and 61º providing versatility where they are durable for the demands of commercial kitchen environments while retaining their high levels of sharpness. 

In Australia, these are the choice of kitchen knives by famous chef Tetsuya Wakuda, owner and operator of the famous Michelin starred restaurant Tetsuya. As a testament to his skill as a chef and loyalty to the brand, MAC created a collection of knives named and created in collaboration with Tetsuya himself.
