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.

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?
Hi there. I am a knifemaker, so I thought I'd throw in my two cents. MAC knives run at about 60 +/-1 on the Rockwell hardness scale. This is pretty hard (though I have knives that run up to 63) so yes. They will chip easier than pretty much any German or Chinese knives you buy at the store. This is why people rave about how they stay sharp for a long time. If you go with a softer-steel knife, you won't have to worry as much about chipping, but your edge won't last as long. Keep in mind, little chips can be sharpened out!

Here's are some tips:

-Buy a MAC knife (they're excellent knives)
-Buy a "beater knife" or two. Search "Victorinox" on Amazon.
-Use that cheap, yet pretty decent "beater knife" for anything with bones or might be frozen
-Use your MAC knife for everything else
-Get a honing rod and/or a leather strop to maintain your razor edge (doesn't sharpen it, but it will keep it performing at its peak for longer)
-Use a wood cutting board. Edge won't last long cutting on plastic or glass *shudders*.
-Do not put it (or any knife) in the dishwasher. Ever.
-Keep it in a knife block or buy some sort of cover. If you put it in a drawer bouncing around with other utensils, it will dull very fast.

Enjoy!

Any recommendations on what to sharpen this with? I have a 1000 grit stone but not sure if something else is needed for this style.
Assuming you already have a steel to hone the edge, maybe consider a course stone like the King 300 [amazon.com] for when you have to reset the bevel. It's splash and go style so very convenient to break out on a whim.

Some sharpening nerds might want to take this blade to 5000 grit but that seems like overkill for a home knife. I do my home knives at 2000 but that's just because I got a stupid good deal on it vs the Shapton Pro 1000 that I was planning to buy.

how are these compared to Wusthof? Pricing is similar.
