This 8½" chef's knife is the lightest weight chef's knife we make. The gradual taper from heel to tip is in the style of the Gyuto (Japanese version of the chef's knife). It can be used for slicing most fruits, vegetables, and proteins on the cutting board. Comfortable balance, light-weight, sharp edge, and thin blade all combine to create a precision tool that is easy to handle and control.

Chef Series Features:
Thin blades for less wedging into cuts and for producing a sharper edge.
Original Molybdenum steel has better edge-retention and is easier to sharpen than most other brands.
Western-style shapes with a pointed tip and a handle that is in-line with the spine of the blade (on most knives in this series).
Lightweight due to the lack of a bolster, and the thin blade eases stress on your hand and arm.
Razor-sharp edge that made MAC knives famous over 40 years ago.
Completely tapered from spine to edge, creating a V-shaped blade that glides through cuts with ease.
Perfectly balanced weight distribution creates a sense of comfort when holding the knife and keeps you in control of the blade.
Slightly curved edge allows you to use almost any style of cutting whether it is a European rocking motion or a Japanese slicing motion.
Pakka wood handle has the look and feel of natural wood but lasts much longer (except PB-60).
