The Messermeister Meridian Elite 5 Inch Scalloped Utility Knife is a go-to for a wide variety of tasks in the kitchen. With a scalloped edge, this traditional style utility knife is one of the most frequently used. It's a favorite for prep, cutting cheeses, breads, pastries and even carving small game birds.
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.
The Knife for Life™ guarantee provides a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
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.
This little razor blade is quite the addition to my set. It's beautifully balanced, super light, and cuts with terrifying ease. Not the most useful of blades for everyday use, but when you reach for it you know that it can handle anything you throw at it without tiring you out or becoming uncomfortable to hold.
