The MAC SK-65 Superior Santoku Knife is a professional-grade kitchen knife handcrafted in Japan, combining the versatility of a Santoku with MAC's reputation for producing some of the sharpest, most refined blades available at any price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SK-65 features a 6.5-inch blade forged from MAC's proprietary high-carbon Molybdenum steel — an alloy chosen for its exceptional hardness (59–61 HRC), corrosion resistance, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge far longer than conventional stainless steels. The blade is hand-sharpened to an acute 15-degree edge that achieves a level of sharpness most home cooks have never experienced before. The Santoku geometry — with its flat cutting edge, slight hollow-ground dimples, and compact profile — excels at the three tasks its Japanese name implies: meat, fish, and vegetables. The pakkawood handle provides ergonomic comfort and moisture resistance for long prep sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for slicing, dicing, mincing, and all-purpose kitchen prep. Hand wash and hand dry recommended to preserve the blade edge.
