Mac makes some seriously great knives. I wish more individual blades where on sale here, since I don't buy sets unless I really need all the included knives.
I'd been really wanting a nakiri knife, pulled the trigger from Overstock. One piece of advice I read all over reddit is that if you're not sure you want a nakiri, just buy the Kiwi nakiri for $6 and play with that. That ended up being really great advice for me, and I *almost* don't even feel like I should even upgrade.
if you are looking for the mth80 , cutlery and more has it for 130

It's normally at 145 ish and 130 is the lowest I've seen it at awhile. The deal with the paring and and the mth80 on the posters link is pretty great though.

It's a great highly reviewed knife. I have one but its more brittle than a german knife . An acquaintance careless flung it into the sink and the tip bent. But it keeps its edge for a long time, but I try to baby mines after the incident. I use it mainly to chop vegetables and slice boneless meat. It's also fairly light. I use a german knife for heavier duty task.

The nakiri is cheaper on overstock.

Mac knives are the best! We received a set as a wedding present and we love how sharp and durable they are

very good knives, and symmetrical edges which isn't typical for Japanese blades

Would these be good for a daily driver kitchen knife? We've been using Cuisinart knives from our wedding that are OK, but we cook enough and enjoy it enough that we want to upgrade to something nicer.

Yes, these are miles ahead of cuisinarts, and a good knife is something that will make cooking exponentially easier and fun. I've used a lot of different knives in a long culinary career and the Mac knives are some of my favorites and the best bang for the buck I've found. I handed down one of these to an old coworker and it's still being used over a decade later.

I've used my MAC Chef's knive for 12-years now nearly daily in my home kitchen, and will continuing using it. It's durable, holds and edge, and can be sharpened well over and over again.

Great value knife.

I have the chef's 5 1/2 utility knife and it is my go to knife for just about everything. Smaller than a typical chefs knife but bigger than a pairing knife. It stays sharp, has a good hand feel and is nearly indestructible. It slices, dices and chops better than any other knife I have. I use it more than my Shuns or Wusthofs.

I saw a review that these knives chip easily. I'm bit paranoid about accidentally using these to cut something that isn't complete thawed yet or some veggies that is too hard.

Is that true?

MAC are incredible value workhorse knives. They hold up pretty nicely against the hobbyist $250+ segment and are pretty much unbeatable for the price.

Macknife is my favorite brand of knife. It holds its edge quite a long time because it's made of hardened steel alloy. I've used the MTH 80 for over 10 years. No chips in the blade.

Can anyone comment on how these compare with Shun Fuji SG2 knives? I am looking for a 8" chef knife and a paring knife as a starter set and eyeing the pro set for $175 which is quite a bit cheaper than Shun.

You can Chip any kind of knife.

Blade thickness and edge sharpness/angle of bevel determine what it'll handle. Metal to some degree, but thickness and edge more so.

E.g. A thin metal blade with a 15 degree edge + frozen hard ribs and some whacking and twisting will more easily break the edge off than a thick butcher knife with a 30 degree edge.

....

Biggest problem with most home cooks is the inability to maintain a super sharp edge. So instead of cutting through, you're whacking with the edge - bending, breaking the metal.

Either learn whetstone sharpening the old fashion way, or get a belt sharpener like Work Sharp if you want surgically sharp edges.

There's the machines around $100 you pull a knife through the slots several times - these are decent.

Below that and you might as well take the knife to Ace Hardware and have their in-store knife sharpener machine stick a better edge on the knife vs manual pull thru knife sharpeners that really only get you a rough sharpened edge that'll chip quick.

...

And if you only have a thin, weaker, lighter blade, as long as it's surgically sharp, go slow and it'll cut through most anything.

(I'll just laugh watching, pull out my heavy Chinese butcher knife and finish it with a single whack.)
