The Microtech Signature Series 4.2" Santoku Knife combines precision cutting performance with premium construction and a refined, professional aesthetic. Designed for efficient kitchen prep, its versatile Santoku profile excels at chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing a wide range of ingredients.
The 4.2" blade is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK premium steel and finished with a sleek DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. The thin, sturdy blade moves smoothly through meat, fish, and vegetables, providing precise control for both everyday preparation and more detailed culinary work. The DLC coating adds a durable layer of protection against wear and corrosion while giving the blade its distinctive dark appearance.
Microtech developed M390MK in collaboration with engineers at Böhler to improve edge retention and corrosion resistance compared with the already-popular M390 steel. That premium steel makes this compact Santoku a dependable choice for cooks who appreciate long-lasting cutting performance and a blade that’s built for demanding kitchen use.
The handle features black carbon fiber paired with titanium bolsters, creating a sleek combination of lightweight strength and rugged durability. The carbon fiber offers a comfortable, confident grip, while the titanium bolsters provide additional structural support and a distinctive premium finish. Together, they give the knife a balanced feel that complements its precise cutting performance.
