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 5-Piece Next Level Block Set
Olive Wood and Solingen Steel on an Acacia Magnetic Block The Messermeister Oliva Elite 5-Piece Next Level Block Set is for cooks who want German edge performance in a knife that also looks at home on the counter. Each handle is cut from olive wood with its own grain, and the knives stand on a magnetic acacia block where that grain stays on display.
Why It Works Stealth chef’s knife: Messermeister’s Stealth profile is thinner and lighter than a standard German chef’s knife, so it moves through dense vegetables with less effort. Olive wood handles: The naturally oily wood has a warm feel in the hand, and no two handles share the same figure. Acute Elite edge: A fine edge angle, finer than many German knives, gives clean, precise cuts. Bolsterless heel: The edge runs uninterrupted to the heel, so the full blade can be sharpened and the hand can settle into a pinch grip. Next Level magnetic block: Knives rest against magnetic faces on the acacia block rather than inside slots, which keeps them visible and easy to reach.
In the Kitchen The chef’s knife takes on onions, squash and proteins, and the bread knife saws through crusted sourdough without crushing the crumb. The utility knife suits sandwiches, cheese and citrus, and the paring knife handles peeling and trimming.
