Handcrafted by 4th generation knife artisans in the historical cutlery city of Solingen, Germany, the Messermeister Oliva Elite 8 Inch Carving Knife has a narrow spear-point, fine-edge blade that is used for small to medium carving chores. It separates meat from the bone and slices it into thin serving portions. The alternating kullenschliffs (a.k.a. kullens, hollows or grantons) on each side of the knife reduce drag and prevent items from sticking to the blade. Pair this with the Oliva Elité Carving Fork.
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 three-step, 15° 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.
Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
100% Messermeister quality
Care
Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
Do not place in dishwasher.
Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
Oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
I haven't used it yet but it's plenty long for carving and is beautiful

Excellent knife, sharp, good balance.

Bought an entire set of these knives- they are beautifully crafted, well worth the money. Tip - do NOT put these in your dishwasher. The olive wood is not meant to withstand that kind of water and heat. Your knives will last much longer if you hand wash them after using. Would buy again - but hoping that if we take care of them, we won't have to for many years.
