Böhler M390MK – powder steel developed for Microtech
Böhler M390MK is a high-performance powder steel used by Microtech, designed for resistance to wear, corrosion, and long-lasting edge retention. In a Santoku kitchen knife, it facilitates consistent vegetable slicing, meat portioning, herb chopping, and the preparation of ingredients requiring a clean, controlled cut. The material’s high wear resistance makes this model well-suited for intensive kitchen work, where the blade must maintain its effectiveness and predictability over the long term.
Santoku profile and flat grind – smooth cutting and control on the cutting board
The santoku profile is designed for versatile kitchen work, including slicing, chopping, and portioning. The flat grind ensures the blade glides smoothly through food, minimizing resistance when working with vegetables, fruits, meat, and herbs. The Black DLC coating gives the blade a professional look and helps mask minor signs of regular use that may appear from contact with the cutting board and the ingredients being prepared.
G10 / Titanium – stable grip and titanium bolster
The G10 / Titanium handle is designed to provide stable support for the hand during extended kitchen work. The G10 composite offers resistance to moisture, temperature, and typical mechanical stress, while the titanium bolster reinforces the structure and enhances the precision of the finish. The subtle surface texture improves grip control, even with damp hands, while the Torx screw fastening increases the rigidity of the entire assembly and facilitates access to mounting components during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen the Böhler M390MK steel in the Microtech Santoku knife?
Böhler M390MK steel should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with acidic foods, moisture, or salt. For sharpening, it is best to use a diamond sharpener or a high-quality ceramic system, as powder steel with high wear resistance requires an effective abrasive and a stable angle.

The santoku knife is best suited for slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, portioning meat, working with fruit, and preparing ingredients that require a smooth glide of the blade along the cutting board. It is a versatile kitchen tool that effectively replaces or complements the classic chef’s knife.
Will a G10 / Titanium handle work well in the kitchen?
Yes, G10 / Titanium works well in the kitchen because it combines the moisture and heat resistance of G10 composite with the durability of a titanium bolster. After washing, it is advisable to dry the entire knife to ensure the long service life of the steel and assembly components.

No, this model does not come with a traditional sheath or holster. However, the set includes a blade guard that protects the cutting edge and makes it easier to store the knife safely in a drawer, bag, or kitchen organizer.
