Messermeister Oliva Elite 2-Piece Chef & Parer Set

Two knives cover the core of daily cooking, and this Oliva Elite set pairs them. 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.

    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.
