About the Maker - MAC

MAC Corporation is a renowned knife manufacturer. The company was established in 1965 with the aim of designing knives that are safer, sharper, lighter, and easier to use. The idea for MAC knives was conceived when the chairman, while studying in a College of Arts in Chicago, U.S.A, had a part-time job as a chef. He found the German knife he was given to be heavy, dull, and dangerous due to its pointed tip.

About the Shape - Chef's Knife

A Chef’s Knife, also known as a cook’s knife, is a versatile cutting tool used in food preparation. Originally, it was designed primarily to slice and disjoint large cuts of beef. Today, it serves as the primary general-utility knife for most Western cooks.
