WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

You don't need 10 knives. You can't do it all with one. Most knife sets are built to a price, bundled together with soft steel that dulls in weeks. We started again: four knives, one for each job, built from premium Japanese steel for an edge that actually lasts.

The MAKO Set of 4 covers chopping, slicing, trimming and cutting bread. Add the free sharpener and free storage and it's complete. Nothing missing, nothing extra. This is as refined and considered as a knife set gets, a minimalist system built to do everything you need, and nothing you don't.

Four knives. Lifetime warranty. This is the only set you'll ever need.

WHY YOUR CURRENT KNIVES ARE LETTING YOU DOWN

  • One knife trying to do every job, so nothing gets done well.
  • Cheap steel that dulls fast and is a pain to sharpen.
  • Handles that slip or tire your hand halfway through prep.

That's why prep takes longer than it should, and every cut feels like work.

WHY MAKO KNIVES PERFORM DIFFERENTLY

  • 67-layer Damascus steel: Precision sharpness and strength, for a keen edge that lasts.
  • Premium AUS-10 Japanese steel: Stays sharper for longer, so you spend less time sharpening and more time cooking.
  • Perfectly balanced design: Japanese precision meets German strength, slightly front-weighted for effortless slicing and less hand fatigue.
  • G10 ergonomic handles: Moisture-resistant, ultra-durable and non-slip, built for comfort and confidence.
  • Rockwell Hardness 60 HRC: Tough, razor-sharp and chip-resistant, the ideal hardness for pro-level edge retention.
  • Built to last, guaranteed: Every MAKO knife is backed by a full lifetime warranty. Designed in Australia, crafted with world-class materials.

WHAT EACH KNIFE IS BUILT FOR

Four knives, four jobs, zero compromise.

8" Chef Knife
Chopping vegetables, slicing meats and disjointing larger cuts. Sleek black handle, balanced weight, the go-to blade for power and precision in daily cooking.

7" Santoku Knife
A shorter, flat-edged knife for fine slicing and dicing. Julienne veggies, mince garlic or create paper-thin cuts with surgical accuracy.

5" Utility Knife
A nimble blade for trimming, peeling and detailed tasks. Great for fruit, cheeses or any prep requiring ultimate control.

8" Bread Knife
The razor-sharp serrated edge of a Japanese blade meets the sturdy build of a German knife. From thick sourdough crust to delicate tomatoes, effortless.

Everything You Need To Get It Right

Everything you need to keep your knives performing, at no extra cost.

MAKO Precision Sharpener FREE - $99 VALUE
Hones and sharpens at the perfect 15° angle, so maintaining a razor edge is fast, simple and foolproof.

Storage, done your way, with your choice FREE - $229 VALUE
Choose the In-Drawer Block to keep your bench tidy and every knife organised, separated and out of sight. Or the Magnetic Block to keep your knives on display, and ready to use. Either way, your knives stay protected and within reach.

Use & Care

Download: MAKO Japanese Steel Knives Use and Care Guide

KNIVES
CLEANING
Clean your blade with a soft dishcloth, warm water and dish soap after each use. Avoid dishwashers, as high heat and harsh cleaners can damage the cream handles and dull the blade.

USAGE
Designed for slicing, chopping and dicing. Avoid using on bones or to cut through frozen foods as the fine edge may chip. Also, avoid twisting or forcing the blade to prevent damage.

Due to its serrated edge, the MAKO Bread Knife is not compatible with the MAKO Precision Sharpener. Thanks to its AUS-10 Japanese steel construction, the blade is designed to stay sharp with regular use, so sharpening is rarely needed. If required, consult a knife specialist for serrated blade options.
