Love this knife
"Absolutely amazing knife. Love the way it feels in my hand. The Santoku is also a hit. I’m hoping to buy the steak knives and the prep knife soon."
Numbers do count!
"I own 15 Messermeister knives. The largest collection is Oliva. Suffice to say that these are the best, most versatile set of knives I have own in my 50+ years of cooking. But these knives and you will certainly become a better cook or at least feel ten times better about your cooking preparation!"
Perfect
"This knife is perfect weight and size for everyday use. The larger chef's knife's are too cumbersome for someone like me that has smaller hands."
Lovely knife set
"Beautiful knives. I love how they look out on the countertop. The handles are so sleek and ergonomic in the hand."
Some questions.
"Love, love and I have three new knives now, though I don't have any safety sheaths for them. Also can you recommend a good sharpener. Thanks so much! Pat"
Perfect size
"I love this smaller sized chef knife. I have small hands and the 8 inch knife is a bit big for my hands. This one is a perfect fit. It is super sharp and slides through everything with ease. I really love the messermeister brand. I have a few of there knives and they hold up and last. Great quality."
Beautiful Addition
"The 6 inch Oliva Elite Chef knife is a beautiful and welcome addition to my kitchen. Like the 8 inch chef, it fits nicely in my hand and performs all the slicing, dicing and chopping beautifully! Had been looking for a 6 inch chef for a while. So pleased with this choice. Practically use it every day!"
Great multipurpose small knife
"Nice sharp knife. I love the length of the blade but the balance is a little off for me."
