Microtech Kitchen Knives
Microtech kitchen knives are what happened when the OTF maker walked into the kitchen and refused to lower its standards. Unveiled at Blade Show 2025 as the company's dedicated cutlery line, the collection runs the same Bohler M390MK steel and the same USA machining as the Microtech automatics, aimed at cooks who already trust the name on their pocket knife.
For collectors of the Microtech lineup, it is the first real chance to put the claw logo on a cutting board.
M390MK in the Kitchen
The steel choice is the story. M390MK is a powder metallurgy stainless tuned with Bohler exclusively for Microtech, and its two defining traits, long edge retention and serious corrosion resistance, are precisely what kitchen duty demands from a blade that lives around acids and water. The grinds respect it: the 6-inch santoku runs a tall 2.1-inch flat-ground profile on stock under a tenth of an inch thick, thin enough to glide through prep without the wedging cheaper stainless needs. Every piece ships with a Microtech blade guard, and our comparison of every major knife steel shows how far above kitchen-aisle steel this sits.
The Microtech Kitchen Lineup
The range covers a working kitchen end to end: an 8-inch chef knife built to headline any block of chef knives, santoku knives in both 6-inch and compact 4.2-inch formats, a 6-inch utility, a 6.125-inch boning knife, a 10-inch butcher, a 3.5-inch paring knife, and 4.5-inch steak knife sets in plain and fully serrated versions. Stonewash and DLC blade finishes carry the brand's tactical DNA straight onto the counter.
Handles, Bolsters, and Signature Runs
Handles run a genuinely handsome palette for a company known for black: G-10 in black, black cherry, merlot, ivory, coyote tan, OD green, Caribbean blue, and ember, plus Ultem, carbon fiber, and Livewire carbon fiber on the dressier builds, many anchored by bead-blasted or bronze titanium bolsters. Signature Series runs push it further still. Alongside the Japanese and German houses in our broader kitchen knives collection, Microtech is the American wildcard, and our kitchen knife buying and care guide covers how to keep that M390MK edge making its case on every tomato.
