Microtech Kitchen Knives
Microtech kitchen knives are what happened when the OTF maker walked into the kitchen and refused to lower its standards. Launched in 2025 as the company's first cutlery collection, the line runs the same Bohler M390MK steel and the same USA machining as the automatics, aimed at cooks who already trust the name on their pocket knife.
For collectors of the Microtech lineup, it is the first 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 just 0.09 inches thick, thin enough to glide through prep without the wedging cheaper stainless needs. Every piece ships with a fitted 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 fully serrated 4.5-inch steak knife sets. 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 cherry, merlot, ivory, coyote, and OD green, plus carbon fiber and Livewire carbon fiber on the dressier builds, most anchored by bronze or bead-blasted 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 the M390MK edge makes the case on the first tomato.
