About this productThe Messermeister Meridian Elite 7" Stealth Chef's Knife is the perfect blade length for those who find the 8" a tad long and the 6" a bit shy on knuckle clearance. The blade and tang are still hot drop hammer forged as a full frame from a single billet of the finest high carbon German steel alloy. Efficiency in cutting is a blend of geometry, edge angle and steel. The thinner the spine (between 2-3mm), the more severe the distal taper (degree of thinning from spine to edge and heel to tip), the lower the edge angle (15 degrees or less) , and the better the heat treat and subsequent refrigeration of the molecular structure, the more efficient the cutting power.
