Premium Messermeister Oliva Chef's Knife - 8" German Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife for Professional Chefs & Home Cooking - Perfect for Slicing, Dicing & Chopping Vegetables, Meat & Herbs

Product Description

The Messermeister Oliva Chef’s Knife is the workhorse of all the knives. You will gravitate towards it when executing 90% of your culinary tasks.  It has a highly figured Italian olive wood handle attached to a hand forged Stealth blade and is about 25% thinner and 10% lighter than our traditional chef’s knife. It has been ground down to a thin profile to create a razor sharp edge. With this knife, you can chop, slice, dice and mince your way through extended cutting tasks without fatigue. 

• The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
• This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
• The three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
• The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
• Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
• 100% Messermeister quality

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Do not place in dishwasher.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
