Our take on the Mac Knife Professional Hollow Edge Chef's Knife

The Mac Professional Hollow Edge is an 8-inch forged chef's knife with a granton-style hollow edge, a pakka wood handle shaped for a pinch grip, and a hard 61 Rockwell stainless blade. It is built for cooks who want a light, sharp Western-style knife that holds an edge and releases sticky slices. At $120.89 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under its usual street price.

Pros
  • Hollow edge reduces sticking on wet, starchy foods
  • 61 Rockwell hardness holds an edge a long time
  • Full tang and forged construction give solid balance
  • Light and thin behind the edge, so it cuts with little effort
  • Pakka wood handle is shaped for a pinch grip
Cons
  • Not dishwasher safe; hand wash only
  • Hollow scallops can be harder to sharpen than a plain edge
  • Hard steel chips if used on bones or frozen food
  • Thin, hard blade rewards careful technique and punishes twisting

Questions and answers

Is the Mac Professional Hollow Edge worth it at $120.89?
That is a low price for this knife, which usually sells higher. If you want a light, hard, long-lasting chef's knife and will hand wash it, it is a strong buy at that price.
How does it compare with the Mac Professional 8-inch chef's knife without the hollow edge?
Same steel, hardness and handle; the hollow edge adds scallops that reduce sticking but make sharpening slightly fussier. Choose the plain edge if you sharpen often and rarely cut starchy food.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Mac recommends hand washing and drying; dishwasher heat and detergent can damage the pakka wood handle and the edge.
What can I cut with it, and what should I avoid?
It handles vegetables, fruit, herbs and boneless meat well. Avoid bones, frozen food and hard squash stems, since the 61 Rockwell steel can chip under impact.
How do I sharpen a hollow edge knife?
Use a whetstone or a sharpener that follows the existing angle, working the scallops gently. A honing rod helps between sharpenings but will not restore a dull edge.
What is in the box?
Just the knife. No sheath, sharpener or case is included.
