You'll find the Messermeister Oliva Elite Stealth Chef's Knife will be your go-to knife in the kitchen. This 6-inch chef's knife is expertly crafted to help you effortlessly chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing through all your cutting tasks without causing fatigue to your hand. The handle is made of gorgeous Italian olive wood and is attached to a hand forged Stealth blade. The blade is about 25% thinner and 10% lighter than Messermeister's traditional chef's knife. It has also been ground down to a thin profile to create a razor-sharp edge.
The Oliva Elite chef's knife is handcrafted with the highest precision in Solingen, Germany, the historic cutlery capital of the world. Its German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion. The blade is tough and durable while maintaining its edge, and can be easily sharpened to a razor-like edge.
The Messermeister Oliva Elite knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are then heat-treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 57-58.
The blade's three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface. In addition, because the heel doesn't have a bolster, it uses the entire blade from heel to tip, simplifying all cutting, sharpening, and honing tasks.
Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts. Rinse and dry immediately. Don't put it in the dishwasher. Oil the Italian olive wood handle periodically with food-safe mineral oil.
