Messermeister Oliva Elite 10 in. Chef Knife

The Messermeister Oliva Elite 10 inch Chef's Knife is immaculately finished with phenomenal attention to detail. The shoulders of the spine have been carefully smoothed to ensure comfort during use which is especially important when using a proper pinch grip. The blade is precisely tapered and mirror polished. This knife is perfect for those who like the feel of a quality German chef knife, but prefer a lighter blade. Features a beautiful Olive Wood handle that is smooth and comfortable to hold.


This knife is also available in an 8 inch and 9 inch lengths. The 10 inch length is the best choice for anyone looking to maximize efficiency; the larger blade cuts more food with each slice. It is also better equiped to handle the cutting of larger vegetables like melons, marrows pineapples, and crucifers. Traditionally professional chefs use 10 inch chef's knives, but as kitchens have become smaller many cooks now use a smaller blade. If you decide to opt for the 10 inch length make sure your cutting board is at least 10 inches wide.
