SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech 4.2-inch Santoku Knife brings precision, strength, and balance into a compact, highly capable kitchen tool. Designed for versatility and efficiency, this Santoku is built to handle chopping, dicing, and mincing with controlled power. It’s a blade that feels equally at home breaking down proteins as it does fine-tuning delicate vegetable work.
At the core of its performance is a 4.2-inch stonewash standard blade crafted from BÖHLER M390MK® steel. Known for exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, M390MK® ensures the knife maintains a razor-sharp edge through repeated prep sessions. The thin yet sturdy blade geometry allows it to glide smoothly through meat, fish, and vegetables without tearing or crushing. Whether you’re slicing onions paper-thin or cubing chicken breast with precision, this Santoku responds with clean, confident cuts.
Measuring 8.82 inches overall, the knife offers a balanced feel that promotes control during intricate tasks while still providing enough substance for more demanding work. The compact blade length enhances maneuverability, making it ideal for tight prep spaces and detail-oriented slicing. The stonewash finish gives the blade a subtle, work-focused character and helps disguise light wear from regular kitchen use.
The OD green G-10 handle pairs durability with a secure, comfortable grip. G-10 is highly resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, making it a dependable material in fast-paced kitchen environments. The added bolster provides strength and a smooth transition from blade to handle, reinforcing stability and control. Weighing just 4.22 ounces, the knife feels solid in hand without becoming fatiguing during extended prep sessions.
This Santoku is built for chefs and home cooks who demand both finesse and capability. It’s compact but powerful, refined yet tough enough to tackle daily kitchen demands. Microtech’s commitment to precision machining and premium materials is evident in every detail, from the blade steel to the ergonomic handle contours.
