MBK-85 — Versatility and Cutting Perfection

The PROFESSIONAL series of Japanese MAC kitchen knives represents a refined fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern functionality valued in the world’s finest kitchens. Its distinctive cutting edge combines the philosophy of traditional Japanese single-bevel sharpness with the precision of a Western V-shaped edge, resulting in a blade that delivers exceptional cutting performance, durability and superior control. This unique construction reflects the premium character and technical sophistication that define the Professional line.

The MBK-85 is a versatile knife from the prestigious Professional series, designed as a daily work instrument for premium culinary environments. The blade features a narrower tip profile, allowing for highly precise work in tight and delicate areas of ingredients, such as cutting meat close to the bone or performing intricate preparation tasks that demand absolute accuracy. This refined geometry enhances precision and gives the knife a distinctly professional, specialist character.

Crafted from MAC Steel (AUS8) in a solid construction with a hardness of 59 HRC, the blade offers an ideal balance of long-lasting sharpness, resilience and reliability under intensive professional use. The stain-resistant properties of the steel help preserve the elegant appearance of the blade even when working with acidic ingredients, further emphasizing the luxurious finish and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the Professional series.

The handle, made from durable PAKKA wood — an exclusive fusion of natural wood and resin — ensures excellent moisture resistance, stability and a secure ergonomic grip. Its carefully contoured shape allows the knife to fit naturally in the hand, giving chefs the sensation of using a tool crafted specifically for them. The exceptionally lightweight construction significantly reduces hand fatigue, enhancing comfort even during long hours of demanding kitchen work.

The MBK-85 is a premium multi-purpose culinary instrument that performs flawlessly in slicing meat, chopping vegetables and handling everyday tasks that require speed, precision and full control. In the hands of a professional, it becomes a tool that accelerates workflow, increases efficiency and elevates the aesthetic quality of food preparation.

Thanks to the use of high-grade materials and meticulous finishing, the knife maintains its legendary sharpness, reliability and prestigious character for many years, especially when properly maintained, regularly sharpened and cared for in accordance with the principles of Japanese blade craftsmanship.
