Böhler M390MK – Microtech Powder Steel for Kitchen Use

Böhler M390MK is a special grade of M390 steel developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler. The material is characterized by high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness, which is particularly important in the kitchen, where the blade regularly comes into contact with moisture, food juices, cutting boards, and various food textures.

In the Chef 8" knife, M390MK steel ensures stable edge performance during precise slicing, quick chopping, and consistent portioning. This material requires proper care but offers exceptionally long-lasting durability. As a result, this model is well-suited to the needs of both advanced cooking enthusiasts and those who expect a kitchen knife to offer quality that goes beyond standard solutions.

Chef Profile and Flat Grind – Smooth Performance on the Cutting Board

The Chef blade was designed for a wide range of kitchen tasks: slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, portioning meat, mincing ingredients, and using the rocking technique. The distinctive blade profile allows the knife to glide smoothly across the cutting board, maintaining control over the movement and precise positioning of the edge relative to the food.

The flat grind ensures the blade glides evenly through the food and promotes a clean, controlled cut. The Stonewashed finish gives the blade a technical, matte appearance and helps mask minor signs of wear. In practice, this means a combination of workhorse aesthetics with the functionality expected from a knife used regularly in the kitchen.

Caribbean Blue G10 – Ergonomics and Durability in the Kitchen

The handle made of G10 combines mechanical durability, dimensional stability, and good moisture resistance, making it a suitable choice for the kitchen environment. The material withstands frequent contact with the hand, fluctuating temperatures, and a humid environment, and its subtle texture supports more confident knife control during extended use.

The Caribbean Blue color gives the design a fresh, modern look and makes it easy to distinguish this knife from classic models with black handles. The Torx screw fasteners reinforce the technical character of the design, and the simple, functional geometry of the handle allows for a stable hand grip while slicing, portioning, and chopping.
