Perfect pairing knife
"This is the second knife I’ve purchased from the Oliva collection. Love the product and will always recommend Messermeister!"
"Excellent quality, super sharp"
Disappointed with the out-of-box edge
"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."
Love it !
"Love it !"
Nice addition
"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."
