The UPC in the United States is 854911000037. Please note that the paper shown in the photos is a warranty card, which is only valid in Japan. Please note that there may be slight differences between MAC knives designed for the Western market and those for the Japanese market. As a resident in Japan, I inquired about the Western specifications of MAC knives with the MAC headquarters. However, due to contractual agreements with MAC distributors in the West, they could not provide detailed information. Therefore, I cannot confirm any specific differences. Generally, MAC knives for the Japanese market have a double-edged blade with an asymmetrical edge, except for some models. This design choice caters to Japanese chefs who prefer the sharpness of single-edged knives like Deba and Yanagiba. The asymmetrical edge on a double-edged blade offers better sharpness compared to a symmetrical double-edged blade of the same size, while still maintaining the versatility of a double-edged design. The MAC USA website describes this knife as follows: "This 12" chef's knife is a large size for professional chefs. The fast taper towards the tip is in the style of the French chef's knife. It can be used for slicing most fruits, vegetables, and proteins on the cutting board. Particularly useful when cutting large foods such as watermelons and beef quarters." Currently, this knife is listed at $170 on the MAC USA website, while American sellers on eBay are offering it for $144.95. ・What is MAC? MAC was established in 1965 in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, one of Japan's leading knife manufacturing areas. Although the headquarters are in Sakai, the factory is located in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, another of Japan's premier knife-making regions. The founder, a Japanese individual who worked as a chef in the U.S., used his experience to develop unique products, such as knives with rounded tips, which are rarely seen from other manufacturers. By the way, in Japan, when people hear "MAC," they usually only think of Apple computers or McDonald's, so the company's name is not widely recognized. However, it is highly regarded by professional chefs, cooking enthusiasts, and knife collectors. ・Who I would recommend this knife to. I would recommend this to anyone looking to purchase a MAC BK-120 at the lowest possible price or who is interested in the Japanese-spec MAC with asymmetrical edges. ■About me■I am a Japanese living in Tokyo and I love to cook.
