MACKnife Original Series 4-Piece Starter Set, Silver

These knives are quite thin, the blades are VERY sharp. You can cut yourself by touching them so be careful. The true test is to cut a very soft tomato without mashing it. These knives cut through the tomato like soft butter, leaving perfect slices. They make cutting vegetables and meat a joy. These are the first knives I could easily sharpen by dragging them over the bottom of a ceramic cup a few times. They are truly the best knives I've ever had and are reasonably priced. They do require a bit more care, you must dry them immediately after use or they may rust, you need to either store them hanging up (they have holes in the tips to make this easy), or keep them in the box they came in. The knives are more fragile than the normal stainless steel knives (which is why they're so sharp). Don't try to cut through frozen items) but with the little extra care, these knives will last for years and stay sharp. WELL WORTH THE EXTRA CARE!!!!

I have a set of Mac knives that were handed down to me from my in-laws. I am very particular about knives keeping a sharp edge, and Mac knives do. I am now buying sets as wedding shower gifts for my grandchildren.

A friend gifted me one Mac knife for Christmas over 30 years ago. I put it in the knife block and found myself choosing it over all the other knives every time. Truly, I just wanted to throw out my other knives. Whether I’m cutting up veggies or slicing a loaf of bread, I still choose that one knife.I finally decided to treat myself to a knife set.I love them. They slice everything “like butter”.I wish I had a matching knife block as my old block does not have the same size holes.I will warn you that they are very sharp and I have cut myself several times, but I never struggle to cut anything. I even cut up a watermelon yesterday without enlisting a strong male’s help. It was impressive.

I bought these Mac knives for my son and his wife because over 46 years ago, my husband and I got a set as a wedding gift and I still use them every day!

I used to be a cook at a health food restaurant and they had these. I LOVE these, and Made in Japan!This kit sharpens so well—it is amazing. I would order the suggested sharpener that Amazon suggests—I thin MAC makes it. I was a chef for three years and we sharpened our MAC knife's on the back of a "China" porcelain plate.This kit is amazing!The small knife is my favorite. The fillet knife is my favorite. The extra-large one is a bonus for free.These knives will last a lifetime—literally.The sharpening is easy, effective, and effortless by the way...tom la france
