Messermeister Oliva Luxe santoku knife with dimples 6.5 inch (16 cm)

The Messermeister Oliva Luxe santoku knife with dimples is a versatile kitchen tool designed to meet the demands of both home and professional cooks. This 6.5-inch (16 cm) blade is made from German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy, making it resistant to stains and corrosion, durable, and easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge. The knife is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which results in a strong blade from heel to tip. The blade is heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58, and the sharp, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel for maximum sharpness.

Santoku knives are a Japanese-style kitchen knife that are great for slicing, dicing, and mincing. They are designed with a wider blade and a more rounded tip than traditional chef's knives, making them ideal for a variety of cutting tasks. The dimples on the blade of this santoku knife reduce friction and help prevent food from sticking, making food preparation faster and easier.

The handle of the Messermeister Oliva Luxe santoku knife is made from beautiful Mediterranean Olive wood. The bolsterless heel allows for full use of the blade, simplifying all cutting, sharpening, and honing tasks. This knife is handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.

Care:

To maintain the beauty and performance of your Messermeister Oliva Luxe santoku knife, it is recommended to hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry immediately. Do not place in dishwasher. Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts, and oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
