The MAC Chef Series dimpled chef’s knife is an 8 in (20cm) all-rounder for chopping herbs, dicing vegetables and portioning boneless meat. Thin geometry and low weight matter more here than decorative finishes.

Dimples along the blade help food release, and the length is more manoeuvrable than a classic 20cm chef’s knife for smaller boards or cooks who dislike an oversized blade. Made in Japan.

Lucy's Verdict

A better everyday all-rounder with a clear point of difference: mac is here for cooks who judge a knife by how little resistance they feel through food.

Lucy · Head of Curation

Why we chose it

This is here to compete for the “one serious knife” purchase, so it needed a distinct feel and a convincing everyday reason to choose it over the other all-rounders. MAC is here for cooks who judge a knife by how little resistance they feel through food. Thin geometry and low weight matter more than decorative finishes. At 8 cm, it is more manoeuvrable than the classic 20 cm chef’s knife and suits smaller boards or cooks who dislike an oversized blade. Chef Series Chef’s Knife Dimples occupies this exact slot in the edit, so it is not here simply to broaden the brand count.

Who it's best for

Buy it if you want a everyday all-rounder mainly for chopping herbs, dicing vegetables and portioning boneless meat; you naturally use rocking and draw cuts; you prioritise thin geometry and low cutting resistance over decoration. This recommendation applies specifically to Chef Series Chef’s Knife Dimples.

Why Lucy recommends it
