The Messermeister Oliva Elite 8-inch Chef's Knife is drop-forged in Germany with a 3-step hand finishing process. This blade, which is 8-inches long, is made from high carbon stainless steel, and has a razor sharp 15 degree edge. 

The Chef's knife will be your go-to for the lion's share of your daily meal prep. It can slice, dice or mince everything from fruits and vegetables to herbs and meat. It's the one blade no kitchen should be without.

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.
