Review Title: Disappointed with the out-of-box edge
Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 stars (Average)
Reviewer Name: Dave S. (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2025-09-18
Customer Feedback:
Love the balance on this knife, feels really good in the hand. That said, this is the first Messermeister knife where I've been disappointed with the blade out of the box. There was a burr nearly the full length of the blade and the point has a nasty little hook. I'm sure I can clean it up with a quick sharpening, but at this price point, I expected a better out-of-the-box experience.

This knife is like the love child of an 8" chef's knife and a standard paring. It takes after both of its parents. Fun to use.

Customer Feedback:
Bought a "pick your own set" including the cleaver and so glad I did. All the knives I picked are fantastic, beautiful to look at, well-balanced and cut like a dream. You will not regret buying these knives, you will just regret not buying them sooner!! And, highly recommend the storage block, so easy to get the knives in and out of and love the UV option.

Customer Feedback:
Really lovely knife, don't think i could ask for a better paring knife.
This paring knife has the perfect blade length and the overall size and shape of the knife makes it easy to hold and use as a paring knife. This knife is lightweight, well balanced, sharp, and easy to handle.\n\nAs with all of the Oliva Elite knives, the olive wood handle is extremely comfortable, finely finished, aesthetically pleasing, and a makes the knife a joy to hold and use. \n\nI expect to own and use this knife for the rest of my life so for me that makes it well worth the price I paid for it. \n\nCare and Maintenance:\nI hand wash this knife with soap and water and dry it with a towel before putting it away. I use a honing rod after using the knife and before putting it away. This knife will stay sharp for a long time if you use a honing rod, and it will sharpen up well (sharper than new) on ceramic whetstones when needed. I applied a couple of coats of food grade mineral oil (USP mineral oil sold in grocery stores and pharmacies as a laxative) to the handle when I first got the knife to prevent the olive wood from drying out or absorbing too much water. I reapply mineral oil whenever the handle starts to look dry, but you could probably go awhile without oiling if you want to. \n\nThe attached pictures show the paring knife sitting on a cutting board and stored away in my Messermeister in-drawer knife holder (paring knife in top row, slot 6)
