The Microtech Pairing Black G10, Stonewashed M390MK (3500-10BK) is a pairing knife designed for precise peeling, cleaning, shaping, and working with smaller ingredients. The blade, made of Böhler M390MK steel, features a pairing profile, a flat grind, and a Stonewashed finish—a combination engineered for controlled blade guidance, high wear resistance, and edge stability in a kitchen environment. The G10 handle ensures a secure grip, moisture resistance, and comfort during precise work at the cutting board. The included blade guard facilitates safe storage and transport of the knife without the need for a traditional sheath.
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 the Pairing kitchen knife, it excels at precise peeling, cleaning vegetables and fruits, scoring ingredients, and tasks requiring precise control of a shorter blade. The lack of confirmed hardness data for this specific variant means that the table lists “N/A,” without substituting a general range for the steel.
Pairing profile and flat grind – control for detailed kitchen tasks
The pairing profile is designed for tasks requiring precision, short blade movements, and constant control over the tip. The flat grind promotes a smooth cutting line and precise blade guidance along the surface of the ingredient, which is important when peeling, cleaning, shaping, and decoratively preparing foods. The Stonewashed finish gives the blade a matte, workhorse appearance and helps mask minor signs of regular use.
Black G10 – A Durable Handle for Kitchen Work
The handle made of G10 is designed to provide stable support for the hand during intensive kitchen work. The G10 composite offers resistance to moisture, temperature, and typical mechanical stress, while the subtle surface texture improves grip control even with damp hands. Torx screw fasteners increase the structure’s rigidity and facilitate access to mounting components during maintenance.
Why choose the Microtech Pairing Black G10 for your kitchen?
The Microtech Pairing Black G10 is designed for users who are looking for a shorter kitchen knife for precise work but don’t want to compromise on the materials typically found in the premium segment. Böhler M390MK steel ensures high durability, the flat grind facilitates a clean cut, and the G10 handle provides a secure grip and a modern look. The pairing format is ideal when a large chef’s knife is too bulky and a small utility knife requires more control. This is a tool for those who value durability, precision, and Microtech’s technical craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen the Böhler M390MK steel in the Microtech Pairing knife?
Böhler M390MK steel should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with acidic foods, moisture, or salt. For sharpening, it’s best to use a diamond sharpener or a high-quality ceramic sharpening system, as this highly wear-resistant powder steel requires an effective abrasive and precise angle control.
What kitchen tasks is a pairing knife best suited for?
A pairing knife is best suited for peeling, cleaning, scoring, and shaping small ingredients. The shorter blade makes it easier to work precisely with vegetables, fruits, herbs, and decorative food preparation.
Is a G10 handle suitable for the kitchen?
Yes, G10 works well in the kitchen because it is resistant to moisture, temperature, and typical mechanical stress. After washing, it’s a good idea to dry the entire knife to ensure a long service life for the steel and assembly components.
Does the knife come with a sheath?
No, this model does not come with a traditional sheath or holster. However, the set includes a blade guard that protects the cutting edge and makes it easier to store the knife safely in a drawer, bag, or kitchen organizer.
What makes the Stonewashed finish unique?
Stonewashed creates a matte, workhorse surface that effectively masks minor signs of regular use. In a kitchen knife, it helps the blade maintain its aesthetic appearance despite contact with cutting boards, food, and daily cleaning.
