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
https://www.cutleryandmore.com/ma...ife-p18060
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.

How is the handle on this? It looks similar to Zwilling pro which was not very comfortable for me when I held it in store.

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?
Never heard of this. I own 3 MAC knives, no issues with chipping.

Can anyone comment why I should get a $50.00 knife vs the 99 cent store knife that I've had for the past 15 years that I sharpen with an Ikea knife sharpener?
Pull through sharpeners eat up metal and are generally bad for knives. Eventually the blade develops a frown and won't contact the cutting board. You are also stuck sharpening at 1 angle so you miss out on extra sharp blades.

Unless you want to learn a whetstone or pay a honemeister, stick to your cheap stuff. A maintained cheap blade is better than an expensive blade that has lost its bevel.

Kind of what I figured. Cheap knife it is!

Instead of using a pull-thru sharpener, use a honing or sharpening rod, depending on sharp your knife is.

Source: I used to use a pull-thru sharpener like you.

I have the nakiri (vegi cleaver) and absolutely love it. Do make sure you hand wash and dry immediately, it water spots easily and isn't the most rust resistant. I have been able to keep it sharp with a bit of stropping with diamond compounds easily.

Professional knife sharpener told me that Japanese steel knives are great for preparing sushi, but Americans need German steel for cutting our raw meat and such.

Exactly what the professional told me. Took all my knives to him for a lesson. Double bevel German steel knives are best for most American cooking. Japanese steel knives are great for fish preparation, slicing horizontally. Single bevel are o.k., but won't be or stay super sharp. He talked about flat beveled vs round bevel vs no bevel, too, but I have forgotten the significance except that no bevel is best.

Even the top German branded knives now are made in Japan, because the Japanese make them in smaller batches and hence in higher quality.

Learned a new word: honemeister. Thanks. Took my knives to one (I called him a professional knife sharpener). Went through all of them with me. Sharpened only the best quality and encouraged me to get rid of the rest and to get one new, good one, once a year. Charged me $6 per knife he sharpened. Totally worth the price. Each knife will now cut anything like I am cutting soft butter.

I should have been more clear. It's the steel and the bevel that matter, not where they are made.

I've always wanted to try a Mac knife. This is a great deal.
