Japanese MAC TH-80 Chef Series 8" Blade Chef Knife w/ Dimples
Made in Japan
This 8" chef's knife is
similar to our best-selling MTH-80 from the Professional series but
without the bolster and without the sub-zero tempered steel. The
gradual taper from heel to tip is in the style of the Gyuto (Japanese
chef's knife). It can be used for slicing most fruits, vegetables, and
proteins on the cutting board.

Chef Series Features:
- 2.0-2.5mm thin blades for less wedging into cuts and for producing a sharper knife.
- 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).
- Light-weight 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)
- Comfortable balance, light-weight, sharp edge, and thin blade
all combine to create a precision tool that is easy to handle and
control; reducing the risk of hurting yourself while working on the
cutting board.
