The MAC Professional 8" Hollow Edge Chef's Knife is a Japanese-made chef's knife with a 61 Rockwell hardness blade and a 15-degree double bevel. The hollow edge (granton) has oval dimples along the blade that reduce sticking when slicing potatoes, cucumbers and other wet foods. The Pakkawood handle with a bolster gives it a heavier, balanced feel than thin Japanese wa-handle knives. Reviewers rate it highly for sharpness and edge retention, though it demands more care than softer European knives.
