SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech 4.2" Santoku Fixed Knife in Stonewash with Ivory G-10 handles is a compact powerhouse built for serious kitchen work. Precision-engineered in the USA, this blade strikes the ideal balance between size, agility, and cutting performance—perfect for chefs who demand control without sacrificing durability.
At the core of this knife is a 4.2-inch blade made from premium M390MK® steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ability to hold up under tough, repeated use. The blade’s stonewashed finish offers a rugged, low-maintenance surface that resists wear and hides scratches, keeping your tool looking clean and professional through heavy prep sessions.
With a flat-ground, sheepsfoot-style edge, the blade is optimized for clean slicing and precision dicing. It glides effortlessly through meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables—especially ideal when making fine cuts or working in tighter prep spaces. Whether you're trimming proteins or mincing herbs, this knife offers pinpoint accuracy with a blade thin enough for finesse and sturdy enough for power.
The full tang construction adds stability and strength, while the Ivory G-10 handle scales provide a secure, slip-resistant grip. G-10 is known for its durability in wet or high-heat environments, making it an excellent choice for both home kitchens and professional culinary settings. The ivory color offers a clean, modern look that contrasts beautifully with the stonewashed steel—form meeting function in one seamless package.
Weighing just 4.22 ounces, the knife is lightweight enough for agile handling, yet solid enough to offer control and feedback in every cut. The 8.82-inch overall length gives you ample reach without being cumbersome, making it a go-to tool for everyday use or specialized prep tasks that call for something smaller than a full-size chef’s knife but just as capable.
The Microtech 4.2" Santoku is built for chefs who appreciate fine materials, tight tolerances, and professional performance in the kitchen—crafted with the same attention to detail that’s made Microtech a trusted name in precision blades. From SMKW, the World's Largest Knife Store — the Microtech 4.2" Santoku turns prep work into performance, with top-tier steel and sleek Ivory G-10 style.
