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

I haven't had a chance to use it but I'm 100% certain I'll love it. I was looking for my forever knife and after hours of shopping for one, I kept coming back to yours...it's quite the handsome piece and the sharpening stone is very nice.

Small enough to handle but not too small and just the right weight.

Excellent product
Erik Zentmyer
This is a very substantial cleaver with a great feel. It's well balanced and quite heavy. A must-have!
