Microtech 8in Chef Knife Stonewash Standard W/Bolster Black G-10 MT3000B10BK

The Microtech 8in Chef Knife Stonewash Standard with Bolster and Black G-10 is the cornerstone tool every serious kitchen demands. Designed to be the one blade you reach for again and again, this chef’s knife is built to handle everything from rough prep to precision cuts without hesitation. Chopping onions, slicing proteins, dicing vegetables, or mincing herbs all feel controlled and confident thanks to a balanced profile and a blade that’s engineered to work as hard as you do.

At the heart of this knife is an 8.0-inch blade crafted from premium BÖHLER M390MK® steel, a high-performance steel known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This means you’ll spend less time sharpening and more time cutting cleanly and efficiently. The stonewash finish isn’t just about looks—it helps hide wear from daily use and gives the blade a rugged, no-nonsense appearance that fits right into a hard-working kitchen environment.

The blade geometry is optimized for versatility, allowing smooth rocking cuts while maintaining enough spine strength for demanding tasks. Whether you’re breaking down vegetables for a family dinner or prepping proteins for a full service, this knife delivers consistent performance without feeling delicate or overbuilt.

A full bolster adds stability and balance, giving your hand confidence during extended prep sessions. The black G-10 handle is tough, lightweight, and resistant to moisture and temperature changes, making it ideal for busy kitchens where reliability matters. Its ergonomic shape provides a secure grip even when conditions get slick, reducing fatigue and improving control over long periods of use.

With a total length of 13.52 inches and a weight of 9.04 ounces, this chef knife strikes a near-perfect balance between authority and agility. It feels substantial without being cumbersome, responsive without feeling fragile. Built with Microtech’s signature attention to detail and performance-driven design, this knife isn’t a showpiece—it’s a dependable workhorse meant to earn its place on your cutting board every day.

Professional-grade materials, everyday reliability—this Microtech chef knife is ready for real kitchen work. Available at SMKW.
