Features of the 60th Anniversary Knife Set

This year, MAC celebrates its 60th anniversary and, in addition to the special 60th anniversary models, they have released an anniversary knife set. The set includes two knives from the Chef series: a Santoku and a smaller serrated petty knife. As you would expect from MAC, these are high-quality knives offered at a friendly price.

The blades are made from high molybdenum steel. Molybdenum is an element that increases the steel’s wear resistance, helping the knives stay sharp longer. The handles are made from red pakkawood, a very durable material that is ideal for knife handles.

This set is perfect for anyone looking for high quality knives with excellent value for money.

Elwin de Veld about MAC knives

When I first started with sharpening of the knives, together with my grandfather in 1994, we used to go to many restaurant in The Hague to sharpen. Later, when I took over, I was able to do it all myself. In 1998 I came to the restaurant Seinpost, back then with Paul van Waarden as a head chef, to sharpen their knives. Gert Jan Cieremans, the last chef of now closed restauant Seinpost, has been working there already for 2 years as a chef de partie. Mr. kuntz also has been working there in the kitchen and he owned a MAC. He was truly lyrical about it. I was allowed to sharpen it for him and ever since fell in love with Japanese knives. It's a joy to sharpen, they keep their extreem sharpness for a longer time than the knives I've known.

My first order with MAC were 6 knives from the Original serie. I gave them all to few chefs I know to hear their opinion about them. Of course, they were never returned to me- it was truly the best knfe they've ever used. Since then MAC has become very popular in the kitchens of Dutch restaurants.
