The Messermeister Oliva Elite 6.5 Inch Nakiri is our variation on a versatile Japanese vegetable knife with a thin taper and nearly flat edge. We designed this knife with a Spanish Point for precision cutting. The raised handle position provides good hand clearance, excellent control and a well-balanced knife.
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
