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 2-Piece Chef & Parer Set

Messermeister says the 8-inch chef’s knife tackles slicing, chopping and dicing with ease, and the paring knife is ideal for precision work like peeling and garnishing.The chef’s knife handles the board work, from breaking down a whole chicken to mincing herbs, and the parer takes over for anything done in the hand. Both carry figured olive wood handles, so the pair makes a handsome gift for a new graduate or a cook replacing worn-out knives. More Oliva Elite pieces can be added later as needs grow.

Messermeister Oliva Elite 2-Piece Kullens Carving Set
Messermeister notes that carving knives are made for slicing larger roasts and poultry. Its carving fork holds the meat steady for control and safety. This Oliva Elite set pairs the 8-inch Kullens carving knife with a 6-inch, two-prong carving fork, the tools for serving a turkey or a prime rib at the table.Set the fork into the roast near the bone, then draw the knife in long, even strokes across the grain. The kullens hollows keep thin slices from clinging, so each one lands neatly on the platter. With matching olive wood handles, the pair looks right on a holiday table, and gift buyers choose it for weddings and anniversaries.

Messermeister Oliva Elite 3-Piece Starter Set
This Oliva Elite starter set holds the three knives a new kitchen relies on, a chef’s knife for the board, a utility knife for the jobs in between and a parer for work in the hand. Messermeister puts the chef’s knife to work chopping and slicing and the paring knife on peeling and detail work.With those knives on hand, a cook can break down vegetables and trim a pork tenderloin without reaching for anything else. Matching olive wood handles give the set a warm, cohesive look on a magnetic strip or in a drawer insert. The wood does ask for more care than a synthetic handle, so this is not a set to leave in the sink. It suits culinary students starting out and couples setting up a first home, and it is a clear step up from a mismatched collection of knives. Additional Oliva Elite pieces can be added one at a time as a cook’s needs grow.
