Microtech Santoku 6'' Kitchen Knife Titanium Bolster/Ember G10, Stonewashed M390MK (3200B-10EM)

Santoku 6" Titanium Bolster/Ember G10, Stonewashed is a modern interpretation of a traditional kitchen knife by one of the most respected American knife brands. Created in the spirit of technical perfection and functional minimalism, it is the perfect tool for professional chefs and enthusiasts of precise cutting. The characteristic silhouette of the santoku has been enhanced with high-end materials and ergonomics refined to perfection. The blade, made of advanced M390MK steel, offers excellent edge retention, full corrosion resistance, and microstructure stability, even with intensive use. Its stonewashed finish gives the surface a matte texture that effectively masks signs of use and adds a professional, working character to the blade. The santoku profile makes the knife ideal for portioning, slicing, and chopping, while maintaining smooth operation and precision blade control. The handle is made of titanium and durable G10 composite, a material resistant to moisture, temperature, and mechanical factors. Subtle milling improves grip, and the minimalist geometry of the handle provides stable support for the hand, regardless of the intensity of work. Torx screws increase the rigidity of the construction and allow for easy disassembly for maintenance. With its perfectly balanced combination of ergonomics, durability, and modern design, the Santoku model from Microtech is ideal for both professional kitchens and home users who refuse to compromise on quality. The included protective blade guard allows for safe storage and transport. This is a knife that not only meets expectations – it redefines them.

M390MK - thanks to the collaboration between Microtech and Böhler engineers, an exclusive version of M390 steel has been created exclusively for Microtech. The carbon content has been increased and subjected to more precise control, improving the properties of M390 steel to ensure better edge retention, corrosion resistance, and polishability. Martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it is characterized by exceptionally high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to its high wear resistance, it retains its edge shape, which means that the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another advantage is its resistance to “wire” formation during sharpening. Steel with a high chromium content of 19.0% (Cr) with an admixture of 1.95% carbon (C), 4.0% vanadium (V), hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

The blade - santoku type - is made of innovative M390MK steel, characterized by above-average hardness, high wear resistance, and full protection against corrosion - even in a kitchen environment. Flat grinding ensures precise blade guidance and a smooth cutting line, which translates into high efficiency when chopping, cutting, and portioning. The stonewashed finish not only protects the blade surface from micro-scratches, but also gives it a technical, professional look that perfectly matches the character of the Microtech brand.

The handle - made of titanium and G10 composite - combines strength, lightness, and ergonomics, tailored to the needs of intensive kitchen work. Its simple, functional shape and subtle surface texture ensure a secure grip in any situation - even with wet hands or in high humidity conditions. Three Torx screws increase the rigidity of the construction and facilitate access to the interior for cleaning. The contoured back of the handle allows for natural hand guidance, minimizing fatigue and increasing control over the blade. The handle combines modern design with functional austerity, characteristic of Microtech designs.
