Oliva Elite Kullens Santoku Knife - 7"

"I like this knife a lot. It compliments the original 3 piece set I bought a few years back, especially as my wife and I found ourselves needing a chef's knife at the same time while cooking together. I am slowly trying to complete the OLIVA set. Hopefully one day! Thank you Messermeister."
