Chef Aid 5 Inch Stainless Steel Utility Knife with Soft Grip Handle

Product Information

Given the selection of knives and their consistent, strong performance, however, it’s excellent value for money. Testers with smaller hands found the F-808’s handle comfortable, and they didn’t have any issues with their knuckles hitting the cutting board. You also risk dulling the blade as you pull the knife out, but luckily, some blocks have horizontal slots so that the knives don’t sit on their blades. Their new Poise range includes this very decent knife block holding a 15cm chef’s knife, 20cm carving knife, 10cm utility knife, 9cm paring knife and 20cm bread knife.

The block was a bit difficult to clean and wasn’t quite up to the same quality as the knives themselves, but complete with a sharpening rod and seven knives, it’s a stylish set. From the 20cm chef’s knife to the 9cm paring knife, they’re all made from 67 layers of Japanese damascus steel, identified by that lovely ripple effect on the blade, and are as hard and sharp as you can get. While some brands claim their knives are dishwasher safe, we’d always advise against this to keep them in top condition. But Mac’s proprietary steel also isn’t as brittle as the super-hard Japanese steel that manufacturers use for most gyuto knives, so it’s less likely to chip (which the Tojiro F-808 did after we used it to cut hard butternut squash).
