Microtech Santoku Knife Ivory 6in Plain Stonewash Santoku

The Microtech 6” Santoku Knife Ivory is the kind of kitchen blade that makes everyday prep feel smoother, cleaner, and a lot more satisfying. Santokus are famous for their speed and versatility, and Microtech’s take brings a premium build and hard-use confidence to a knife style that’s already a favorite for slicing, dicing, and chopping. It’s streamlined, reliable, and ready to become the one you reach for first when the cutting board comes out.

This knife starts strong with an M390MK® stainless steel santoku blade finished in a rugged stonewash. M390MK is a high-end stainless steel known for excellent wear resistance and impressive edge retention, which is exactly what you want in a knife that’s going to see frequent, varied tasks. A santoku does it all—fine mincing, quick push cuts, controlled slicing—and that kind of constant use can chew through lesser edges. With M390MK, you’re getting a blade designed to stay sharp longer, helping you keep clean cuts and steady performance through full meal prep, not just the first few minutes. The stonewash finish adds a practical, low-glare look and helps disguise scuffs and handling marks, so the knife keeps its professional appearance even after it’s put in real work.

The 6” blade length hits a versatile sweet spot. It’s compact enough to feel nimble and controlled, especially in tighter spaces or on smaller boards, but still long enough to handle efficient chopping and slicing without feeling cramped. With an 11.52" overall length, it offers comfortable reach and leverage while staying easy to maneuver. It’s a knife that feels quick in hand, letting you transition smoothly from garlic and herbs to vegetables and proteins without swapping tools.

Microtech backs that performance with full tang construction, giving you the strength and stability that serious kitchen use demands. Because the steel runs the full length of the handle, the knife feels solid and predictable in motion—important when you’re chopping repeatedly or working through denser ingredients. Full tang construction also contributes to balance, and at 8.27 oz., this santoku carries a reassuring weight that helps it track cleanly through cuts. It’s not bulky or tiring, just steady and confident, with enough presence to feel like it’s doing the work with you.

The G-10 handle in Ivory brings a clean, timeless look with modern durability. G-10 is known for its toughness and resistance to moisture, making it an ideal handle material in a busy kitchen where things can get wet, messy, and fast. It offers dependable grip and long-term stability, and the Ivory color adds a refined, bright finish that looks sharp on the counter and stands out in a drawer or knife block. It’s elegant without being delicate, and it pairs perfectly with the stonewashed blade for an overall look that’s crisp, contemporary, and ready for action.

If you want a santoku that combines premium steel, confident full tang construction, and a clean Ivory handle in a size that’s built for everyday versatility, this Microtech belongs in your rotation. It’s a practical upgrade that feels like a luxury every time you pick it up, and it’s designed to keep performing meal after meal.
