Microtech Utility Signature Kitchen Knife Bronze Titanium Bolster/Carbon Fiber, Black DLC M390MK (3400B-1DLCCFS)

Microtech Utility Signature Bronze Titanium Bolster/Carbon Fiber, Black DLC M390MK – 6" All-Purpose Kitchen Knife

The Microtech Utility Signature Bronze Titanium Bolster/Carbon Fiber, Black DLC M390MK (3400B-1DLCCFS) is a versatile kitchen knife featuring a 6-inch blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, designed for tasks requiring more reach than a small paring knife but more control than a full-size chef’s knife. The handle combines carbon fiber with a titanium bolster in a bronze finish, creating a lightweight and elegant design.

The slender 152.40 mm blade is ideal for slicing fruits, vegetables, and bread, as well as portioning medium-sized items. The flat grind ensures precise blade control, while the Black DLC finish gives the blade a uniform, technical look.

Böhler M390MK and Flat Grind

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, characterized by high corrosion resistance and good edge retention. The flat grind Flat provides a functional geometry suitable for precise cutting and everyday kitchen tasks.

6-inch Utility blade with Black DLC finish

The Utility 6" size bridges the gap between small kitchen knives and larger chef’s knives. The smooth Plain Edge works well for portioning, slicing vegetables and fruits, and working with bread and other medium-sized items. The Black DLC coating gives the blade surface a dark, uniform finish.

Carbon Fiber and Bronzed Titanium Bolster

The handle is made of carbon fiber and features a titanium bolster with a bronze finish. Carbon Fiber helps reduce the weight of the construction, while the titanium bolster visually and structurally reinforces the transition zone between the handle and the blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for the Böhler M390MK steel in a kitchen knife?

After use, wash the blade by hand and dry it thoroughly. Do not leave the knife in contact with moisture or food residue for extended periods. It is best to store it when it is completely clean and dry.

How do you sharpen a Utility kitchen knife?

The Plain Edge should be sharpened while maintaining a consistent angle along the entire length of the blade. Guiding the tool evenly and applying moderate pressure help preserve the factory geometry of the flat grind.

What is the best use for a 6-inch utility knife?

The Utility knife works well for cutting vegetables and fruit, portioning medium-sized items, and tasks where a small paring knife is too short and a large chef’s knife is less handy.

How do you clean the carbon fiber and titanium bolster?

It’s best to wipe the handle with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasives that could affect the appearance of the carbon fiber or the surface of the titanium bolster.

How to safely store a Utility kitchen knife?

The knife should be stored in a way that protects the edge from accidental contact and impacts with other metal objects. A good solution is a kitchen knife block, a magnetic strip designed for knives, or a separate blade guard.
