SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Santoku 6-Inch Signature Series with Ultem Handle and DLC Hardware is a bold, high-performance kitchen knife crafted with tactical-grade precision. Designed to tackle serious prep work with power and control, this knife brings Microtech’s uncompromising build quality from the field to the kitchen. Whether you're chopping, slicing, or mincing, the Santoku blade delivers smooth, confident performance every time.
At the core is a 6-inch Santoku blade made from M390MK stainless steel—one of the most advanced steels available for edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is coated in a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish, giving it enhanced durability and a sleek, low-glare appearance. This finish also adds a layer of protection against moisture and wear, making it ideal for demanding kitchen environments. Full tang construction ensures that the blade runs through the entire handle, offering superior balance, strength, and stability with every cut.
The handle is made from Ultem, an ultra-tough, heat-resistant polymer known for its strength and durability. Its translucent amber tone gives the knife a standout aesthetic that’s modern yet grounded in purpose. The ergonomic shape provides a secure grip, while the black DLC-coated hardware complements the blade for a cohesive, tactical-inspired look. At 11.52 inches overall and 8.27 ounces, this knife has the presence and weight to make quick work of thick vegetables, meats, and anything else you throw its way.
This knife isn’t just about looks or high-end steel—it’s built to perform in fast-paced, high-volume kitchens and rugged environments alike. Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Santoku 6-Inch Signature Series is for chefs and home cooks who demand function, strength, and standout design in their tools. Order it today from SMKW!
