A set of Japanese knives ideal for everyday use
Discover the MAC knife set, a limited edition created to celebrate the Japanese brand's 60 years of savoir-faire. Designed for everyday use, this set combines two essential formats to cover the majority of your kitchen needs.
Designed in Japan, this box combines practicality and aesthetics. It includes a versatile santoku knife and a serrated paring knife, perfect for precision work. This set allows you to move effortlessly from one preparation to another, whether slicing, mincing or carving. It's also an excellent gift idea, thanks to its meticulous presentation.
Two complementary blades for everyday use
This set includes two knives designed to work together:
- A 10cm serrated paring knife: perfect for slicing fruit, vegetables or meat without crushing fibers
- A 16cm santoku knife: ideal for even, fine slicing of vegetables, meat and fish
The serrated edge of the paring knife preserves the texture of foods, particularly thin-skinned fruits and tender meats. The santoku, on the other hand, offers a fluid, versatile cut, suitable for most everyday preparations.
The blades are made of molybdenum-enriched AUS-8 stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. With a hardness of around 59 HRC, these knives offer a good compromise between edge retention and ease of sharpening.
These blades benefit from the famous MAC sharpening process, carried out by hand on a water stone, guaranteeing a clean, even cut from the very first use. In addition, the santoku is specially ground to give an even finer, more precise edge, ideal for everyday cutting.
Handles designed for comfort
The handles are made of laminated plywood in an elegant mahogany color. This material is appreciated for its resistance to humidity and its stability over time, making it particularly suitable for use in the kitchen.
The Western shape with raised base improves grip and allows you to work longer without discomfort. It contributes to better weight distribution and reduced fatigue during repeated cutting.
The plywood inserts are attached by two rivets to the knife tang, ensuring good strength and a secure grip.

Tips for use and care
Always wash your knives by hand with a soft sponge and dry immediately. Do not put them in the dishwasher or leave them to soak in the sink for long periods. Use a wooden or synthetic cutting board to preserve the sharpness of your blades. Regular sharpening with a stone or rifle will maintain the cutting efficiency of your santoku knife.
