The Messermeister Oliva Elite 6 Inch Reverse Scalloped Utility Knife is a straight blade with a reverse scalloped edge. The reverse wavy scallops are rounded just enough to gain traction on slippery and smooth surfaces. They are also gentle enough to slice through coarsely textured food without shredding it. Each knife handle in the Oliva Elite knife line is unique and made from beautiful, Italian olive wood. No two handles are identical, making these knives truly boutique and one-of-a-kind.
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
Care
Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
Do not place in dishwasher.
Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
Oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
This knife is fantastic for cutting pastries, sandwiches, fruits, etc. and we use it almost everyday.

Collects and stains water droplets so be careful when you are hand washing to not leave in direct contact with water droplets after washing is complete!

I got rid of my old 30 year mismatched knives and finally decided on the Oliva line. They are so all beautiful! While I love every knife I purchased - this one seems to be the perfect knife to choose almost every time I open my knife drawer. Smaller size combined with the serrated edge - a dream!
