SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for precision slicing, chopping, and everyday food prep, the Microtech 4.2" Santoku Knife Stonewash/Ember G-10 with Titanium Bolsters brings premium materials and refined control to the kitchen. Compact yet capable, this Santoku reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision manufacturing and dependable performance, delivering a blade that handles detailed prep work with ease.
The 4.2" Santoku blade is crafted from premium M390 stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. It holds a razor-sharp edge through repeated kitchen tasks while standing up to the moisture and acids common in food preparation. The stonewashed finish reduces glare and helps disguise the light scuffs that naturally develop during use, giving the blade a rugged working character while maintaining a clean, professional look. The Santoku blade profile excels at slicing vegetables, preparing meats, and handling detailed prep work with smooth, controlled cuts.
The handle is built for confidence and comfort in hand. Ember G-10 scales deliver a bold orange appearance while providing excellent grip and long-term durability. G-10 is widely respected for its strength and resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and everyday wear, making it an ideal handle material for hardworking kitchen tools. Titanium bolsters reinforce the handle structure and add balance, strength, and a refined touch that complements the vibrant handle color. The result is a knife that feels secure, responsive, and well-balanced during extended prep sessions.
Measuring 8.82" overall and weighing 4.22 ounces, this Santoku offers excellent maneuverability while still providing the blade length needed for efficient chopping and slicing. Its compact size makes it ideal for cooks who want precise control without sacrificing cutting performance. Each knife is proudly made in the USA and built to the high standards that define Microtech craftsmanship.
