Microtech Utility Bronzed Titanium Bolster/Ivory G10, Black DLC M390MK (3400B-1DLCIVS) – premium utility kitchen knife

The Microtech Utility Bronzed Titanium Bolster/Ivory G10, Black DLC M390MK (3400B-1DLCIVS) is a modern utility kitchen knife, designed as a versatile tool for precise cutting, portioning, and everyday work at the cutting board. The model combines Böhler M390MK steel, a blade finished with a Black DLC coating, a handle made of G10 / Titanium, and an elegant Ivory / Bronzed Titanium color scheme. The slim, functional blade geometry, flat grind, and stable grip make this knife equally at home in a professional kitchen and in a premium home collection. The distinctive combination of light-colored G10 composite with a titanium bolster gives it a more refined look than classic kitchen knives, while retaining the functionality typical of Microtech tools.

Böhler M390MK – Microtech powder steel for kitchen precision

Böhler M390MK is a high-performance powder steel developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler, designed with a focus on wear and corrosion resistance as well as long-lasting sharpness. In a utility kitchen knife, this material performs well when cutting vegetables, fruits, herbs, meat, bread, delicate foods, and ingredients that require controlled blade guidance. The Black DLC coating gives the blade a dark, technical look and increases the surface’s resistance to wear and tear, while contrasting nicely with the light-colored handle.

Utility profile and flat grind – control, smoothness, and versatility

The utility blade was designed as a compromise between a shorter utility knife and a larger chef’s knife. This geometry allows for comfortable slicing, portioning, trimming, and precise work on small and medium-sized items. The flat grind ensures the blade enters the food smoothly and helps maintain a straight cutting line. As a result, the knife offers excellent control on the cutting board while remaining versatile enough to serve as one of the most frequently used tools in any kitchen set.

Ivory G10 and bronzed titanium bolster – elegance and a stable grip

The handle made of G10 / Titanium combines the durability of the composite with the elegance of the titanium bolster. The Ivory G10 scales provide stable hand support, good moisture resistance, and are easy to keep clean, which is crucial during intensive kitchen work. The Bronzed Titanium Bolster enhances the knife’s visual character, adding a premium touch and a subtle contrast to the black blade. Torx screw fasteners emphasize Microtech’s technical style and reinforce the rigidity of the entire construction.

Black DLC and blade guard – protection during use and storage

The Black DLC finish gives the blade a modern, low-reflective look and fits well with Microtech’s technical design language. In the kitchen, this means not only a distinctive aesthetic but also a surface resistant to typical wear and tear. The included blade guard makes it easy to safely store the knife outside of a knife block or magnetic strip, and also protects the cutting edge during transport. It’s a practical accessory, especially for users who store their knives in a drawer or organizer, or take them to work outside the home.
