A limited-edition Japanese knife for the anniversary of the MAC brand
Discover an exceptional knife born in Seki, the historic birthplace of master blacksmiths. Designed to celebrate 60 years of MAC brand excellence, this Japanese kitchen knife embodies the fusion of tradition and contemporary innovation. It's an exceptional piece designed to last, seduce and become a true collector's knife!
The Japanese chef's knife with a high-performance blade
Your chef's knife features a damascened structure: a traditional forging technique consisting of superimposing and welding several layers of steel together. This process creates characteristic wavy patterns and gives the blade a dual advantage: aesthetic and technical. The softer outer layers protect a harder core, guaranteeing strength, flexibility and long-lasting sharpness. Each damask knife is unique, with a pattern that never repeats itself. The result is a knife that's as beautiful as it is effective!
The 20 cm blade is designed to combine power and precision. Its damascus structure, with 45 layers of stainless steel, protects a core of 1.05% carbon-rich AUS-10 steel. This ensures a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale for an exceptional edge that stays sharp for a long time.
AUS-10 alloy, enriched with nickel, manganese, vanadium and silicon, provides flexibility, strength and ease of sharpening. What's more,MAC sharpening, carried out by hand on a water stone, offers a fluid cut that respects textures, a sign of exceptional craftsmanship.
A balanced, refined handle for this gyuto knife
The handle, made of dense, stable mahogany wood, combines visual warmth with solid ergonomics. It is secured by three through rivets and reinforced by a stainless steel bolster, ensuring perfect balance.
Its Western shape provides an immediate and comfortable grip, ideal for long preparations while retaining the lightness of a Japanese kitchen knife.
