Pros
Easy to handle, steel sharpening works well, pricing is moderate. This brand is a bit more stainless steel than high-carbon but still attracted by magnet. Comes extremely sharp and perfect for cutting everything but extremely hard thick items which re... Read More
They are comfortable to hold and have the right weight - lighter and more manuever than european knives but with just enough substance to handle any job. Holds a very keen edge in spite of continuous use. The weight is good, not too light, and it fits... Read More
It beats any knife in our block. Believe the hype.
The santoku knife is worth twice what you will pay for it. With proper care (hand clean, no dishwasher) this knife will be around longer than you are.
This knife is my go to tool for most slicing/chopping jobs. I use it for everything, except when cutting large starchy vegetables. The curved cutting-edge allows you to mince stringy food very finely.

Packaging/appearance
The packaging is lovely too and perfect for giving the knife as a knife
It came in a handsome gift box and my boyfriend loved opening it on christmas morning
This knife comes boxed in an elegant package typical of japanese aesthetics
Take it out of the beautiful box and drop a grape on it
Competitiveness
I have more expensive japanese damascus knives but i grab this one first
A giant step up and above the well known high end german makers we are so familiar with in speciality and retail stores
You cannot find a better santoku for the money
Shun and global are excellent but quirky and usually more expensive in comparable lines to the mac professional series

Mac knives are wicked sharp and maneuverable
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Be sure when you do touch up a mac knife that you sharpen it at the correct angle
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Especially for users of electric sharpeners but also hand sharpeners not all of them are capable of honing at a 15degree angle
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Also if you dont own a honing rod consider getting a ceramic one instead

Stays sharp but also easily sharpened
