The Oliva Elite 6” Reverse Scalloped Utility Knife is the unsung hero of your kitchen drawer. With unique inverted serrations that grip and glide through food without tearing, it excels at slicing citrus, baguettes, charcuterie, and more. The fine edge at the tip adds precision, while the German stainless steel ensures lasting sharpness. Topped off with a smooth, sculpted olive wood handle, this knife turns daily prep into a moment of joy.
Behind the Build: Product Specs
Origin
Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany
Overall
Weight: Middleweight
Blade Type
Unlike traditional serrated knives, which have teeth that face forward to cut in a forward motion, a reverse scalloped utility knife has serrations that face toward the handle, allowing you to pull the knife through food instead of pushing it.
W: 1.06 in | 27 mm
L: 6.34 in | 161 mm
Thickness at spine: 2.2 mm
Handle
W (including bolster): 4.84 in | 123 mm
Tasks
This knife is designed with a unique edge that features reverse serrations. These serrations face outward from the spine, rather than the typical direction, which makes this knife ideal for cutting through certain types of food or materials where a regular straight or serrated edge might struggle.
Care
Do not place in dishwasher… Seriously, don’t even think about it!
Hand-wash only with warm water and a mild detergent; rise and dry immediately
Clean the blade right away after slicing acidic or salty foods like tomatoes, citrus and vinegar based items
For wood handles: Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood cream every few weeks
