Messermeister Oliva Elite
Comfortable to hold and beautiful to behold, Messermeister Oliva Elite Knives are heirloom quality knives made to last for generations. Made with buttery smooth natural Mediterranean Olive Wood Handles and hot-drop forged German steel blades, Oliva Elite Knives are carefully crafted with an attention to detail. The shoulders of the spines are rounded smooth to prevent discomfort during cutting. The blades faces are mirror polished for aesthetics and to reduce friction when cutting. The natural wood handles are sanded to perfection – they feel warm in the hand and are easy to grip even with wet or slippery hands. German 1.4116 steel blades are heat-treated and cooled to a -Rockwell Hardness of 57-58°, which is soft enough to prevent chipping and allow for easy re-sharpening with a honing steel. Blades are ground evenly with a bevel set to 15° per side. The edges are finished on a cloth wheel where each blade is polished by hand. This creates an extremely sharp and durable edge. Messermeister knives are 100% made in Solingen, Germany – the city of knives. Messermeister’s Oliva Elite collection is classically crafted for performance and style. You can’t go wrong with an Oliva Elite knife.

Messermeister Oliva Elite 6-inch Utility Knife
Messermeister built the 6-inch Oliva Elite utility knife for precise slicing, trimming and everyday prep, the jobs that fall between a paring knife and a chef’s knife. Its narrow blade slips around the core of a bell pepper and slices a cucumber or a block of cheese without the bulk of a larger knife.It is handy at the counter for halving a sandwich or slicing a bagel, and long enough to trim the fat cap from a steak. For a culinary student or a home cook building a kit, it makes a useful third knife after a chef’s knife and a parer, and its olive wood handle matches the rest of the series.

Messermeister Oliva Elite 6-inch Chef's Knife
Tight spaces, smaller hands and focused prep work are where Messermeister places its 6-inch Oliva Elite chef’s knife, and it moves easily from mincing herbs to chopping fruit. The short blade keeps the tip close to your hand, which gives fine control when you dice a shallot or trim a chicken breast.It suits a compact apartment kitchen or a cook who prepares meals for one or two. Many cooks also keep one beside an 8-inch as a second chef’s knife for quick jobs, and the smaller size is less intimidating for a teenager learning to cook. The olive wood handle has the same figured grain as the rest of the series, so it matches an existing Oliva Elite set and makes an attractive gift on its own.
