Messermeister Oliva Elite Stealth Chef's Knife 8 Inch (20.3cm)

The Messermeister Oliva Elite Stealth Chef’s Knife is the workhorse of all the knives. You will gravitate towards it when executing 90% of your culinary tasks. It has a highly figured Italian olive wood handle attached to a hand forged Stealth blade and is about 25% thinner and 10% lighter than our traditional chef’s knife. It has been ground down to a thin profile to create a razor sharp edge. With this knife you can chop, slice, dice and mince your way through extended cutting tasks without fatigue.

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 3 step, 15 degree 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

• ‘The Knife for Life’ guarantee provides a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects
