The Oliva Elite 9" Chef’s Knife pairs a sleek, stealth blade with a gorgeous olive wood handle for razor-sharp slicing, dicing, and mincing. Hand-forged with Messermeister’s signature stealth blade—25% thinner and 10% lighter than traditional western chef’s knives—the lighter weight offers unmatched precision and reduced fatigue during long prep sessions. The elegant Mediterranean olive wood handle adds a natural, luxurious touch while providing a secure, ergonomic grip. Balanced, lightweight, and visually stunning, this blade does it all and looks good doing it.
Features
The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
The three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
100% Messermeister quality
