Böhler M390MK – premium steel in a Microtech kitchen knife

Böhler M390MK is a powder-metals steel developed for high wear resistance, good corrosion protection, and long-lasting sharpness. In the Utility kitchen knife, it facilitates consistent cutting of vegetables, fruits, meat, bread, herbs, and products requiring precise edge control. Since the technical data for this specific variant do not list the HRC hardness, the parameter remains as N/A in the table, without being supplemented by the general range for steel.

Utility profile and flat grind – smooth cutting line

The utility blade offers the versatility needed for tasks that require more precision than a large chef’s knife but greater reach than a small paring knife. The flat grind helps guide the blade evenly through food, reducing resistance when slicing and portioning. The Stonewashed finish effectively masks micro-scratches while giving the blade a technical, professional look.

Ivory G10 and fixed blade construction – confidence at the cutting board

The handle made of G10 provides the stability, moisture resistance, and durability needed during intensive kitchen work. The subtle surface texture enhances grip control, while Torx screw fastening improves the rigidity of the entire construction. The absence of a classic sheath does not limit safe storage, as the set includes a protective blade guard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for and sharpen the Böhler M390MK steel in the Microtech Utility knife?

Böhler M390MK steel should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with acidic products, 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 angle control.

What kitchen tasks is a utility knife best suited for?

A utility kitchen knife is best suited for slicing vegetables, fruits, smaller cuts of meat, herbs, sandwiches, and items that require precise blade control. It is a versatile mid-size knife that complements both a large chef’s knife and a small paring knife.

Is the G10 handle moisture-resistant?

Yes, G10 withstands moisture and typical kitchen conditions well. However, it is advisable to dry the entire knife after washing, as regular maintenance of the steel and assembly components helps ensure the tool’s long service life.

Does the blade guard replace a sheath?

The blade guard is not a traditional sheath, but it serves a protective function during storage and transport. It protects the cutting edge and reduces the risk of accidental contact between the blade and your hand or other tools in a drawer.

What makes the Stonewashed finish unique?

Stonewashed creates a matte, work-ready surface that effectively masks minor signs of regular use. In a kitchen knife, it helps maintain the blade’s aesthetic appearance despite contact with cutting boards, food, and daily cleaning.
