This two piece set is the perfect starter kit, with a MAC Superior chef's knife and paring knife included to handle most food prep tasks. Made in Japan, these knives feature a thin yet strong blade and an ergonomic handle that lifts knuckles off the benchtop. Each knife in the Superior range is made from superior high carbon stainless steel that undergoes sub zero tempering for better edge retention. These knives also include a unique hole in the blade for a hanging storage option.
