Review Title: A great 9" knife!
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)
Reviewer Name: Redentor D. (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2025-02-12
Customer Feedback:
I wanted to use this knife for several weeks before writing a review. After a couple of months, this knife (9" Oliva Elite Chef's) has been a steady favorite in most food preparation tasks. I find that it is a well-balanced knife; the wood handle is comfortable and attractive, and cutting is smooth even for thin slices. I don't find the bigger size a hindrance for the home kitchen; just get a cutting board suitable for it. I actually prefer it now over a smaller chef's knife for its heft, but that's just me. I use it mainly for vegetables of all types and fruit (being a vegetarian). I'm sure it will last a long time. Recommended.

Customer Feedback:
I like where the belly is on it and also the height of the blade. It is bolsterless and this makes it easier and better to keep sharp longevity wise. The fit and finish are lovely. It is not too heavy for a German knife.
