When chefs get to choose

MAC stands for Molybdenum Alloy Carbon, the main components of the steel on all blades. Molybdenum increases hardness and toughness, while carbon dust improves cutting properties. Extra chromium is added to prevent rust and add shine. This steel can be sharpened and polished, giving the material toughness and endurance. The knives are resistant to impact, shock and rust. The handles are made of birch, sliced and laminated with epoxy glue under high pressure, making them highly resistant to grease, water and detergents. The handles are designed for professional use.

ULTIMATE SERIES - Blade made of extra-hard High Carbon MAC steel with added tungsten for optimal sharpness. Steel bolster forged in one with the blade. Superb craftsmanship with fine weight and engraving.

SUPERIOR SERIES - Superior MAC stainless steel that has undergone extra hardening. The blades are slightly harder and keep their sharpness longer. Sandblasted edge on most models.

PROFESSIONAL SERIES - Razor-sharp blades made of molybdenum, chrome and vanadium steel. Slightly softer than the Superior series, with steel bolsters at the transition to the blade.
CHEF SERIES - Knives made of the same steel as the Professional series, but without forged bolster between handle and blade.
