- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025You will find a lot of connoisseurs that will turn their noses up because this knife is marketed more-or-less to Americans. I cook for my family everyday and this is the most comfortable and capable knife I have ever used. We also have a Wustof classic and I much prefer this knife, although it is not as good for heavy cutting because of the thinner spine. At this level, you can’t really go wrong unless you’re a professional chef with special needs. Get whichever one you like. This one is among the best available.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025I absolutely love this knife.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2018I enjoy using a good knife. I appreciate how the correct tool can make the job easier and even enjoyable. For the kitchen I have a Nakiri vegetable cleaver; tomato knife; bread knife; four chef’s knives and paring and steak knives too. Twenty some years ago I got a Henkle set with a 6 and 8 inch chef knife. I never was a fan. The 6” is used most but in chopping or slicing the blade to handle relationship allows my knuckles to hit the cutting board. The 8” is heavy and has a wide spine that make it useful only for chopping. I have an old French sabitier that is light and flexible for fine carving but it lacks the cutting power of the henckles this is all background to say that the Mac is an outstanding knife with enough flex to do some carving some heft to aid in chopping and the knuckle clearance I was lacking. It’s sharp as heck and I can sharpen carbon knives to a finer degree than SS. Now, know that you should only buy this nice if you take care of your tools and know how to sharpen a blade and store it. Otherwise, it’s pearls before the swine. My wife just pulls any knife close at hand and I must come around and clean/ dry the knife. I may induce a patina to help avoid marital strife. Still, sweet blade if budget and fellow cooks allow.... an update. No issues with rust/ discoloration/ otherwise. Not especially careful with it and just wipe it down. I do hang it up on a magnetic board.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2018I bought this as a Birthday gift for my sister. Disclaimer.. She should never be armed with anything and sharp objects defiantly fall into this category. However, she genuinely enjoys cooking and had been complaining that she has no decent kitchen knives (apparently they are all dull and "can't even cut an Avocado!"). So me being the amazing sister I am took to google to find something to assist her on her culinary Keto (or Alternative Adkins as I call it) adventure...Also, it's cool to make my brother in law sweat when he sees her armed. Apparently, this knife is late night infomercial cool, it dices, it slices, it cuts meat and pretty much everything else in the kitchen....including power cords that somehow manage to land on a cutting board as she smashes things like a crazed Muppet chef. The reviews of this knife need to have 10 stars, she tells everyone about it, and even waves it around as she exclaims how fantastic it is while laughing maniacally and now I have gift options to her for years because she needs additional knives! It was worth every penny AND the phone call from our mom "excitedly" asking me if I gave my sister a knife. And no she wasn't using her proud voice it leaned into the distressed voiced but happy Birthday sister!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024Usually don’t leave knives in the sink overnight, my partner did it once. ..immediate rust stains
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2022I've used this daily since buying it. Best kitchen knife I've ever used, and I used to use an 8" Wusthof, and, later, a 10" Wusthof. (Those were heavier and the 10" was just too big for regular use.) This knife is super versatile and sharp. Just the right size, easy to maneuver. I stupidly dropped it on my tile floor and chipped off a small bit of the corner of the blade back near the handle. So that tells me the metal is quite hard, which makes it slightly brittle. But not too brittle that I would complain about that. I've used it to cut through hard meat joints and even frozen things, no problem.
Update more than a year later: STILL the best kitchen knife I've ever used. If I could only have one kitchen knife for the rest of my life, it would be this one. I wouldn't need anything else.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023Ok! The most viral knife model over the internet lives up to the hype.
The thin blade is truly a beast when you slice through tomatoes, it can be at semi-see-through 2mm thinness with this blade with ease. Also due to the "air holes", the sticky ones like potatoes will easily fall off the blade during your cutting actions, which is a huge time saver while working in the kitchen!
After a week of heavy usage, simply hone it during the weekend and the blade is back to its peak performance! Japanese blade construction is indeed awesome! Precision x durability. If I can only carry 1 blade to the kitchen, this is the one!
King of its price bracket $150-$200.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023I used one of these at a friend's vacation house. I ordered one that day so it would be waiting for me when I got home. It's excellent. Incredibly sharp, really well-balanced, size and shape make it super versatile. I wish the handle was a bit longer but I have giant hands so that's not likely to be an issue for most folks. It's pricey but good knives are. Hard to imagine a better chef's knife, at least under $300. Use it just once and picture yourself in the Kitchen of The Bear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnifique couteau de cuisine
C'est le couteau qui m'a le plus donné envie de cuisiner, si vous hesitez entre un européens et un japonais ici vous avez l'entre deux parfait, un bon couteau sans trop d'entretien et qui coupe tres tres bien
Confortable en main, leger, super tranchant la boite est top.
On sait pourquoi on paie 150€ et il les vaut.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a beautiful knife. It's weighted perfectly
This is a beautiful knife. It's weighted perfectly, and fits in the hand just so. It's on the slightly smaller side of chef's knives, but I currently find myself reaching for this knife far more than my (very nice) 10" knife.
It has a line of dimples along the side. I've not really noticed much reduction in items sticking to the knife, but I suppose it helps manage the weight and it does look attractive. I've been careful to hone the blade regularly with a ceramic rod, and while it's only been 2 weeks, it feels exactly as sharp as the day I took it out of the box. Speaking of the box, it's carefully presented in a very nice package. It definitely adds to the premium feeling.
It's worth noting that the shape is a Japanese-inflected version of the classic Western knife shape. Western chef's knives have a rounded front and are normally used by rocking them on the chopping surface. The classic Japanese shape is mostly straight and often has only a single bevelled edge. You use Japanese knives in a downward slice. This knife is mostly like the Western shape, but it is substantially less curvature to it. I personally had literally zero friction to switching cutting styles, but of course your milage may vary.
