Microtech Santoku 4.2'' Signature Bronze Titanium Bolsters/Carbon Fiber, Black DLC M390MK – compact Santoku kitchen knife

The Microtech Santoku 4.2'' Signature Bronze Titanium Bolsters/Carbon Fiber, Black DLC M390MK kitchen knife (3300B-1DLCCFS) is a compact kitchen knife with a Santoku blade made of Böhler M390MK steel. The design is complemented by a carbon fiber handle and bronze-anodized titanium bolsters, which create a distinct transition between the blade and the handle.

The 106.68 mm blade is ideal for precise slicing, chopping, and portioning of food. The flat grind ensures controlled blade guidance, while the black DLC finish gives the surface a uniform, technical look. The set includes a Microtech Blade Guard designed to protect the edge during storage.

Böhler M390MK and Flat Grind

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

Compact Santoku blade with Black DLC finish

The Santoku profile with a smooth Plain Edge works well for slicing vegetables, meat, and fish, as well as for chopping and preparing smaller portions of food. The 4.20" blade length makes this model a more compact alternative to full-size Santoku knives. The Black DLC coating gives the blade a dark, uniform finish.

Carbon Fiber and Bronze Anodized Titanium Bolsters

The handle combines lightweight carbon fiber with bronze-anodized titanium bolsters. Carbon fiber helps reduce the overall weight of the knife, while the titanium bolsters reinforce the transition between the handle and the blade and serve as a distinctive stylistic element of the Signature series.
