The Mac Professional Series 8-inch chef's knife is a forged, full-tang Japanese knife with a Western-style V-shaped blade and a pakka wood handle shaped for a pinch grip. Its 61 Rockwell hardness is high for a stainless chef's knife, which is why owners report it holds an edge far longer than softer German knives and needs sharpening less often. The hollow-ground edge with dimples reduces sticking on wet foods like squash and potatoes. It suits cooks who want a light, sharp, hard blade and will hand wash and hone it; it is less forgiving than a soft-steel Wüsthof or Victorinox and chips if abused.
