Review: Very good knife, well worth it - Got this MAC because well it was one of the cheapest chef knives they had, and went with mac because the best knife I had before was a mac from 1967. And it held up against a lot of use from when my father used it, to kinda my mother, and to me. Not to mention some lazy methods of cleaning like countless dishwashing cycles. Anyways I have to say this newer knife is better, the edge retention is great. The handle is also better since it's coated and doesn't take on moisture. Also the weight is lighter, though it's also smaller. The blade hasn't stained or anything like that, but I don't feel like pushing it since i know this is a different steel compared to the older one which has much more chromium hence why it's never rusted. Now the handle does have a slight opening toward the blade end, but honestly that effects nothing since you just give it a swipe and any water there from cleaning just flies right out. Overall it's a excellent knife, and only thing I could complain about would be price. But that I know is partly due to the steel used as well at it's hardness, but also because brand name. Other than that I have no complaints, it's a razor sharp knife out of the box that stays sharp. And it's easy to handle, as well as comfortable to handle. Also if you plan to buy this, look up the verified sellers list on their website. Since you never want a fake when spending this money.
Review: Light, sharp and beautiful - I love knifes. This MAC is the first MAC I bought and it's awesome. It's very very light and one of the "go to" knives my finace grabs. The blade is very thin, allowing it to make quick work of dicing onions, cutting vegetables and mincing herbs. Personally, I never use any of my japonese knives for boning chicken, smashing garlic or any other "rough" use, but this knife is great for everything else. I have maybe 12+ knives at home from my japanese collectoin (global, miyabi, shun) to my western knives (henckel, wusthof, etc...). From my 5" santoku to my 10" chef, I mix and match based on my mood and what I'm cutting. I grab this one often for vegetables and slicing cooked steaks (no bones). Strengths: 1) Super sharp 2) Super light 3) Great price point 4) Hard metal (holds edge well for such a thin blade) Weaknesses: 1) Angle of blade is not western, probably closer to 16-degrees so you need to sharpen accordingly. Additionally, most honing rods might not be hard enough to hone this strong metal. (Note: I don't know how hard this metal is); 2) Not advised (personally) for frozen items or anything hard as the blade is thin.

- 2mm Blade, rust-resistant, exceptionally sharp, made out of high carbon and keeps the edge for a long time

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MAC Knife Chef Series 8.5" Gyuto
*by T***A on March 2, 2026*

Before this MAC, I had the exact one thirty years ago. It's lightweight, sturdy, and holds it's edge. The tang goes through the handle and is balanced. I use it for veg work, slice fish, cut small meat. It's the perfect size to use at home and in a professional kitchen.
