Product Description
The MAC Original Knife Set GSP-31 brings together three purpose-specific knives commonly used across professional kitchen prep: a 170mm utility knife, a 100mm peeling knife, and a 170mm fillet knife. Each is made in Japan, with significant portions of the manufacturing process completed by skilled craftspeople — an approach that reflects MAC's long-standing focus on consistent blade quality and edge retention.
In a working kitchen, this combination covers a practical range of everyday tasks. The utility knife handles general prep and portioning, the short peeling knife gives the control needed for detail work and small produce, and the fillet knife provides the flexibility required for fish and delicate proteins. These are not specialist collection pieces — they are knives built to be used repeatedly, cleaned, and used again.
A few practical points worth noting before purchase:
- Japanese high-carbon steel blades hold a fine edge but benefit from careful maintenance — a honing steel and proper sharpening practice will extend service life considerably.
- Hand washing is required; dishwasher use will damage the blade and handle over time.
- The set is best suited to skilled prep work rather than heavy-duty butchery or high-impact tasks.
This set is well suited to smaller operations, single-chef kitchens, or as a quality addition to an existing knife roll. Kitchens requiring a broader range of blade profiles — boning, bread, or carving — may find a larger set or individually selected knives a better fit for their prep workflow.
If you're unsure whether these knives match the prep demands of your kitchen, we're happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, though they are best matched to skilled prep work in small to medium operations rather than high-volume production kitchens running continuous heavy prep. The blades are built for precision and durability, but in very high-throughput environments you may find a broader selection of specialised blades more practical alongside this set.
- Regular honing with a suitable steel will maintain the edge between uses, and periodic sharpening — ideally with a whetstone or a professional sharpening service — will keep the blade performing correctly. Hand washing and drying immediately after use is essential; dishwasher exposure will degrade both the blade edge and the handle over time.
- For most everyday prep tasks — portioning, peeling, and fish work — this set provides solid coverage. Kitchens that regularly handle bread, large joints, or specialist butchery will likely need additional blade profiles alongside it. If your prep requirements are varied or high-volume, it is worth considering whether a wider set or individually selected knives would serve the team better.
