Gyuto 210 mm (MBK-85) & Petty 125 mm (PKF-50) & Sharpening rod (SR-85) • molybdenum vanadium en tungsten • western pakka handle • for right and left hand use
This Chef's knife is modeled after the standard French chef's knife which has a slightly curved edge and a fast taper towards the tip (compared to a Japanese chef's knife which has a more gradual taper from the heel to the tip). This is an 210 mm version which is fairly standard for most home cooks and professional chefs. A multipurpose knife for just about anything you would cut on a cutting board.
Features of the Mighty Professional series
The Mighty series has proven itself in many kitchens. The Professional Series features a thin 2.0-2.5mm blade for less wedging into cuts and an added bolster on the handle for weight and balance. Most of the knives in this series are made with our Original steel with the exception of the MSK-65 and MTH-80 which use the Superior steel. The weight of the bolster in combination with the thin blades makes these knives extremely well balanced. Especially when using a Chef's pinch grip; allowing you to cut through most foods using minimal effort. Except for the MTH-80, MSK-65, and MSL-105 which feature elevated handles, these knives have traditional European shapes with a straight handle and pointed tip.
Elwin de Veld about MAC knives
When I first started with sharpening of the knives, together with my grandfather in 1994, we used to go to many restaurant in The Hague to sharpen. Later, when I took over, I was able to do it all myself. In 1998 I came to the restaurant Seinpost, back then with Paul van Waarden as a head chef, to sharpen their knives. Gert Jan Cieremans, the last chef of now closed restauant Seinpost, has been working there already for 2 years as a chef de partie. Mr. kuntz also has been working there in the kitchen and he owned a MAC. He was truly lyrical about it. I was allowed to sharpen it for him and ever since fell in love with Japanese knives. It's a joy to sharpen, they keep their extreem sharpness for a longer time than the knives I've known.
My first order with MAC were 6 knives from the Original serie. I gave them all to few chefs I know to hear their opinion about them. Of course, they were never returned to me- it was truly the best knfe they've ever used. Since then MAC has become very popular in the kitchens of Dutch restaurants.
