The Microtech 6” Utility Knife Caribbean Blue is the kitchen’s ultimate problem-solver—quick, precise, and ready to handle the in-between tasks that are too big for a paring knife and too fussy for a chef’s knife. If you’re slicing sandwiches, trimming proteins, portioning fruit, or working through prep where control matters more than sheer blade length, this Microtech is built to feel fast in hand and dependable on the board. It’s a practical everyday blade with premium materials and a look that stands out in the best way.
This utility knife features an M390MK® stainless steel utility blade with a rugged stonewash finish. M390MK is a premium stainless steel known for excellent wear resistance and strong edge retention, which means it’s designed to keep cutting cleanly through repeated daily use. Utility knives tend to be the most frequently grabbed blades in the kitchen because they’re so versatile, and that constant use can wear down lesser steels quickly. With M390MK, you’re getting a blade that stays sharp longer, helping you maintain smooth slices and tidy cuts without constantly reaching for a sharpener. The stonewash finish adds a low-glare, work-ready look and helps hide scuffs and marks from normal kitchen life, so it keeps a clean, professional appearance even after it’s earned some miles.
At 6” of blade length, it hits a sweet spot for versatility. It’s long enough to tackle larger ingredients and longer strokes—think tomatoes, citrus, cucumbers, chicken breasts, and sandwich stacks—yet compact enough to stay nimble when you need precision. The 10.54" overall length keeps the package streamlined, so it feels natural to maneuver and easy to control, especially when you’re working in tighter spaces or moving quickly through prep.
Microtech builds this knife full tang, which adds strength, stability, and confidence. With the steel running through the handle, you get a more solid feel and consistent balance, and the knife stays predictable when you’re changing direction or applying controlled pressure. That full tang construction is part of what makes the knife feel like a serious tool instead of a lightweight compromise. At 4.54 oz., it’s impressively light, making it easy to use for extended prep without fatigue, while still feeling sturdy and responsive.
The G-10 handle in Caribbean Blue brings both durability and personality to the design. G-10 is well-known for its toughness and resistance to moisture, making it an ideal handle material for a kitchen knife that’s going to see daily handling, quick rinses, and the occasional messy job. It also offers dependable grip, so you’re not fighting the handle when your hands aren’t perfectly dry. The Caribbean Blue color adds a bright, clean pop that’s easy to spot and genuinely fun to use, while still looking refined and modern against the stonewashed blade.
This is the knife that shines when you want efficiency without bulk. It’s great for quick meal prep, precision trimming, slicing snacks, and all the everyday cuts that keep a kitchen moving. If you’re building a set of premium kitchen blades or upgrading the knives you actually reach for most often, the Microtech 6” Utility Knife Caribbean Blue is an easy win—durable, sharp, lightweight, and built with the kind of materials that make a difference over time.
