Messermeister Oliva Elite 6.5-inch O.T. Prep Knife

The O.T. Prep Knife is Messermeister’s collaboration with chef and content creator Olivia Tiedemann of Austin. Messermeister presents it as a go-to knife for everything from delicate prep to confident slicing. At 6.5 inches, it sits between a utility knife and a chef’s knife, which makes it a single knife for cooks who want one blade within reach through a whole recipe.

The moderate length is easy to steer on a small cutting board, and the blade has enough height for dicing an onion or slicing a bell pepper into strips. It handles fruit and boneless proteins as comfortably as vegetables. The olive wood handle and forged German blade match the rest of the Oliva Elite line, so it fits into an existing set or stands alone as a gift for a fan of Tiedemann’s cooking.
