Messermeister Oliva Elite 8-inch Offset Scalloped Bread Knife

An offset blade is the reason to choose this 8-inch Oliva Elite bread knife, which Messermeister calls ideal for breads, pastries, tomatoes and citrus, and a brunch essential. The blade drops below the handle, so your hand stays above the board as the knife cuts all the way through a croissant or a stacked sandwich.

The scalloped edge grips a flaky crust or a slippery citrus peel with light pressure, so it moves from a baguette to a grapefruit without a change of knife. Sandwich makers and bakers favor the offset shape for portioning layered foods into neat halves. With its olive wood handle, it is a good-looking knife to set out with a brunch spread.


Offset or Straight?

For large loaves, the 9-inch Scalloped Bread Knife has a longer, straight blade.

    Care

    Messermeister knives are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry immediately, and clean the blade right away after cutting acidic or salty foods. Messermeister recommends a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood cream on the olive wood handle every few weeks.
