Messermeister Oliva Elite 6-inch Reverse Scalloped Utility Knife

Messermeister Oliva Elite 6-inch Reverse Scalloped Utility Knife

Inverted serrations grip and glide through food without tearing, says Messermeister of this 6-inch Oliva Elite utility knife, and it excels at slicing citrus, baguettes and charcuterie. The reverse scallops bite into a firm skin or crust, and the smooth points between them leave a cleaner cut than a standard serrated edge.

That makes it a versatile counter knife for slicing tomatoes and plums, cutting through a crusty roll or portioning a dry salami for a cheese board. The edge holds its bite between sharpenings because the scallops protect the cutting points. Messermeister lists this knife as not ambidextrous, so check the Details before buying it for a left-handed cook.

Plain Edge Option

For trimming and fine slicing, the 6-inch Utility Knife has a plain edge.

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.
