In the press

Our knives speak for themselves, but a little love from other media outlets are always appreciated also. You don't have to take our word for it, see for yourself why people love our knives so much.

BURRFECTION LOVES the
Oliva Elite Chef's Knife

"This is seriously, one of the best German knives in my kitchen, and my wife also loves this knife. It's stays nice and sharp, has a thin cutting profile, and the olive wood handle is one of the best real wood handles I have used. It's curvy and and shapely, and very comfortable to hold."
