These knives are one piece, hot-drop hammer forged from a single billet of the finest German 1.4116 stainless steel alloy and outfitted with the most durable industrial strength handle in the world. The steel is heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58, and the three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool. Meridian Elite knives are handcrafted and polished one at a time using the same techniques that have been the hallmark of fine Solingen-made cutlery for hundreds of years. Meridian Elite knives are one of the best original forged, triple-rivet knives made in Solingen, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-05-23T05:26:01-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"gem-1629916114-template","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Meridian Elite"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2021-08-26T10:49:50-07:00","alt":"Meridian Elité Knife Set_Lemon","width":1920,"height":1281,"src":"\/\/www.messermeister.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/1630000189_1630000021_1629999824_meridian.jpg?v=1725661299"}},{"id":43429167155,"handle":"utility-and-tomato-knives","title":"Utility \u0026 Tomato Knives","updated_at":"2025-04-14T00:10:03-07:00","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-05-23T05:25:57-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"gem-1639174716-template","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Utility \u0026 Tomato Knives"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2021-12-10T14:28:06-08:00","alt":"","width":1920,"height":1281,"src":"\/\/www.messermeister.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/1639175285_tomato.jpg?v=1725658244"}}]
The Messermeister Meridian Elite 5 Inch Scalloped Slicing Knife is your go-to when slicing soft skinned produce, charcuterie or baguette. This multi-functional forged knife features our Elite edge, a compact blade, and a pronged tip to serve individual cut pieces and to move from cutting board to serving plate.
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

We love this knife. We use it every day. Bought our first one from Nancy Purvis Pollard, who owned and ran La Cuisine in Old Town Alexandria for 40+ years. Wept when the shop closed. Now I will order from you online. Great products. Thanks.
