The entire blade of the Messermeister Oliva Elite Stealth Chef’s Knife has been ground down to a thin profile to create one sharp German chef’s knife! The Elite Stealth Chef’s Knife is the thinnest, sharpest Messermeister Chef’s knife. The blade is shaped so that it can peel, trim, slice, dice, chop, mince, vegetables, fillet fish and cut meat. Each part of the knife is designed to perform a different task. It is the flagship of cutlery.

The Messermeister Oliva Elite 9” Bread Knife has a scalloped edge with a gentle camber. The Bread Knife is a wider and longer bladed version of a tomato knife. The scalloped edge is ideal for biting into the crust of bread, allowing a smooth slicing action without exerting pressure that can compress the slice. It is also used to slice through soft-skinned fruits and vegetables. We don’t recommend slicing meat with this knife.

The Messermeister Oliva Elite 3.1/2″ Paring Knife, with the blade that tapers to a point, is Messermeister’s most popular style paring knife. This size blade is ideal for paring, peeling, scraping, slicing and trimming small fruits and vegetables. It is also perfect for chopping garlic and ginger. The Paring Knife is considered to be the 2nd most often used knife in the kitchen and many home chefs have 3-4 in the drawer. There are many grips depending on the task and they usually involve holding the item by hand when making the cut.

Each knife handle in the Oliva Elite knife line is unique and made from beautiful, Italian olive wood. No two handles are the identical, making these knives truly boutique and one-of-a-kind.
