The Messermeister Oliva Elite 7-inch Kullens (Hollow Edge) Santoku Knife is drop-forged in Germany with a 3-step hand finishing process. This blade, which is 7-inches long and has hollow edge divots, is made from high carbon stainless steel, and has a razor sharp 15 degree edge. 

The Santoku knife combines the best of eastern and western cutlery, with a wide blade perfect for chopping, slicing, dicing and scooping. The divots on the blade keep foods such as potatoes from sticking to the blade as you work.

The ergonomic handle of this Oliva Elite knife is made of beautiful Mediterranean olive wood that won't slip from your hand, even when wet. It can be used equally as comfortably left- or -right handed. 

The blade is made from German Thyssen-Krupp 1.4116 stainless steel, and is handcrafted in a 3-step finishing process in Solingen, Germany, the knife capital of Europe. While many knife companies rely heavily on machine forging, the Oliva Elite line of knives leans on the expertise of bladesmiths.

The blade, bolster and handle of this Oliva Elite knife combine to create a perfectly balanced knife.

Engraving: Up to 8 characters can be custom laser engraved on the blade of this Santoku Knife.
