Oliva Elite Stealth Chef's Knife - 8"

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. 

The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade is designed to resist stains and corrosion while offering exceptional toughness and durability. It maintains excellent edge retention and can be easily re-sharpened to a razor-like edge. This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, creating the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades undergo heat treatment and cooling to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 57-58. Featuring a three-step, 15° Elite edge that is hand-stropped on a cloth wheel, the knife boasts the sharpest possible cutting surface. The bolsterless heel simplifies cutting, sharpening, and honing tasks by utilizing the entire blade from heel to tip. Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany, this knife embodies 100% Messermeister quality.
