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.
