Mac Knife Professional Paring/Utility Knife, 5-Inch

Love my Mac knife. It's a great size above a paring knife but when you don't want all the drama of a big chef knife. It's perfect for cutting raw meat because of the size and sharpness.

After only 2 years of scant use and responsible ownership, I've observed slight pitting on the 5 inch blade of my MAC Pro Utility knife.I never allow my knives to soak in the sink. I handwash all my knives and allow them to air dry in the dish rack, just like all my other stainless steel kitchen utensils.

As a brand I have found MAC to be one of the best brands of chefs knife on the market. I’ve used and owned high end Henkels, Wusthoff and Shun and MAC knives are scalpels buy comparison. This isn’t built like a regular paring knife, its basically a scaled down chefs knife. It makes tasks like fine dicing of herbs a breeze and it slices meats and fish effortlessly. Well worth the cost, but make sure your foodie friends don’t take it home after using it.

Nicely made. Love the edge it has. Value

Time for an update (02/15/2023)I have been using this knife for the past 13 years.Since my last review I broke the tip by trying to pull out an Avocado bulb.... It was stupid from my part but now it is too late to complain.The blade shape has changed much after being sharpened so many times but this knife is still deadly sharp and I still highly recommend it.I bought this knife about 6 years ago (in 20210). I am using it almost on a daily basis and it is holding amazingly well. I like it so much that I usually use it as my table knife, especially when I have a steak for dinner.The only thing that changed is that the printing on the blade faded away to the point of being barely visible. I actually even prefer it this way.I have indeed sharpened it many many times since. It is easy to sharpen and it keeps its edge a long while.A must buy!

its sharp, but so are my henkels that i have sharpened. A little short for slicing chicken breast, rather have a 6 inch

Comfortable grip, great blade length. Someone bought me this as a gift, I purchased one myself then for my summer home because I missed having it when cooking!

This knife is balanced and feels great in the hand when using it. It easily sliced through a tomato in one stroke. Fantastic! Warning: it’s VERY sharp. This is a great feature but it’s also a warning to handle with care when using, washing, and storing. Keep it in the original box with the blade cover on the blade. It will stay sharp that way and you’ll avoid unwanted slicing of fingers as you reach into the knife drawer. Great product!
