The Messermeister Oliva Elite Steak Knife is a 4.5” personal sized carving knife. This steak knife is expertly crafted and has a slicing blade with an upward curved tip. The main cutting edge on this steak knife is used to slice individual portions of meat. The grip can vary but the knife is usually pulled rather than pushed through the meat. The benefit of the fine-edged blade is that it can be conveniently sharpened from heel to tip.
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.
Comes with Reusable Steak Knife Roll
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
Care
Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.

The knives were a wedding gift. The recipients were thrilled.

We got the knife set as a gift then bought for gifts because family love them.
Jamie S.
Absolutely beautiful with our fine china, as well as more casual backyard dining! Love the feeling of the handle in your hand, and the quality of cut is wonderful; no tearing of meat, just a smooth even easy slice. Highly recommend!
Quinn E.
Love these knives. Best set I have ever owned. Look great on the block as well.
Barbara P.
We absolutely love these knives. I initially purchased a set of 6 of the serrated version which we love, but I wanted to have more for dinner parties and decided to try this version too. Both are amazing and serve different purposes.
I never would have thought table knives could impact your dining experience... But these do, and are worth the money!
Ruby W.
Olive wood handles are very lovely. Blades are nice and sharp. We enjoy the fine edge because we can sharpen them ourselves later.
Tristate Goober
Very nice. Sharp, cuts well, finish and joints are smooth, looks good.
