MAC Professional Series MSB-105 Bread Knife

Unlike traditional jagged teeth that can tear soft crusts, the MAC scalloped serrations are designed to glide through bread and roasts with minimal resistance. This results in cleaner slices and significantly fewer crumbs.

Yes, the 10.5-inch blade is excellent for slicing large roasts, hams, or delicate cakes. Its sharp, high-carbon steel construction allows it to handle these tasks with the same precision as a loaf of sourdough.

The resin-impregnated wood offers the aesthetic appeal of natural wood while providing the durability and water resistance of a synthetic material. It is designed to withstand the moisture of a busy kitchen without warping or cracking.

With a Rockwell hardness of 59-61, this knife is quite hard, which allows it to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. While it is durable, you should avoid using it on frozen foods or bones to prevent potential chipping.

Because of the unique scalloped design, this knife requires less frequent sharpening than a straight-edge blade. When it eventually needs attention, it is best to use a professional sharpening service or a specialized tool designed for serrated edges.

No, we strongly recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use. Dishwashers can damage the edge and the handle material over time, and the 25-year warranty does not cover damage caused by improper care.
