Epicurious's top pick for over six years, this hybrid Japanese-German knife is razor-sharp, lightweight, and thrilling to use for precision work. The Granton edge dimples prevent food from sticking.
If you want a knife that makes you a better cook — one that rewards skill and makes thin, precise cuts feel effortless — the Mac Professional is the one to beat. It's the knife serious home cooks graduate to.
“It's a thrill to use for tight precision cuts, evenly thin slices, and delicate shavings. It makes a clean, featherlight pile of minced tender herbs without bruising or smashing them.”
