For wood handles: Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood cream every few weeks.

Dope knives

"Sick. Simply sick"

Epic Blade

"What an amazing gift to one of my clients after completing their restaurant build. Thanks so much for the amazing knife."

Brad B. (5/5)

Love it

"Awesome knife 😎 I just want a 4” version!!!! ;)"

James F. (5/5)

A great 9" knife!

"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."

Redentor D. (5/5)

A near perfect knife!

"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."

Jodi N. (5/5)
