Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MAC MTH-80 8" Chef's Knife w/ Dimples
Customer Review: Use it everyday, Never disappointed
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this knife after becoming frustrated that my current chefs knife would not stay sharp. I use this knife to cut approximately 6-8 pounds of fresh fruits and veggies each day and I have yet to find a vegetable that my knife doesn't cut wonderfully. This knife is worth every penny. After one year it is still just as sharp with absolutely no help from any kind of sharpener. I actually take this knife with me when going to my in- laws because I am so used to using my sharp knife, their knives (even freshly "sharpened"), are still a poor match. I use this knife to peel everything, even squashes, and it has even withstood less than ideal use from visitors with poor knife skills. I do wash it after every use as directed, dry it, and put it in the knife block. Honestly, after trying other knives, this one has a nice weight to it, its balanced perfectly (less hand fatigue with a lot of use), and its the one kitchen utensil I refuse to cook without. Its seriously durable, and mine even came with a nice box for easy transport. So far this knife has shown zero signs of wear and I have really thoroughly tested it out ( I used to be a raw vegan). I would buy this as a gift without hesitation, it is truly superior.Customer Review: This is the first knife I always grab for...it's that good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this MAC knife for 10 years and it's still as sharp as it was when it came out of the box. It feels perfect in my hands and glides through most things effortlessly. The blade is very thin, so it doesn't require much force to cut through different foods. This is a fantastic knife to start with because it can be used for the majority of your kitchen cutting needs. It's the first knife I always grab for, when I am cutting in the kitchen. It's been such a great knife, I have been so happy with my MAC knife,I have bought several additional MAC knifes since then. This knife is well worth the price and you will be pleased with the quality of material and workmanship. You must pay for quality and with this exceptional knife, you won't be disappointed.Customer Review: Superior to Cutco, Henckels, Wustoff, Forschner, and even Kershaw Shun
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot adequately express what a superior knife this is. I have been purchasing and using (heavily) top grade knives for 10 years. This knife, with proper care, maintains a razor sharp edge that is second to none. The edge is ground at a more acute angle than German or American knives, and you can definitely tell the difference. The only knife that comes close is the Kershaw Shun 8" Chef's knife. But unless you just like the look of the Shun series (and let's face it, they're beautiful), save yourself $50 and get this Mac knife. The edge is keener and easier to maintain, and my girlfriend likes it more because it's lighter weight. 5 stars. Also, the handle is much more comfortable than I thought it would be.Customer Review: Solid construction, super sharp, and very fun to use
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? I've used knives by almost every major maker, including a few that cost quite a bit more than this one. I've only had it for a few days, but I've had a chance to cut a variety of vegetables and some chicken. Cutting is a breeze. The blade glides through just about anything and the handle fits comfortably in my hand. I can see where someone with large hands might struggle a little with the comfort of the knife, because the handle is on the small side. It's really too bad that Mac doesn't have a larger presence in the USA, because I think they'd sell a ton of knives if people had a chance to try them. I could not be happier with this purchase.Customer Review: Excellent Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got the as a Christmas present, and I couldn't be happier. I am a cooking enthusiast, and have mostly high end equipment. The MAC knife replaces a well used high end Henkel that I have had for 15 years. Although well maintained and sharpened regularly, the Henkel is no match for the MAC. The best way to describe the MAC is a razor blade with a well balanced handle. It slices so cleanly and with no effort that I am having to re-learn how to chop and slice. The weight seems to be about half on the Henkel which I did not like at first. Now that I have used it more, I really enjoy the delicate feeling and superior results. Highly recommended
