Oliva Elite boasts an exquisite natural, Italian Olive Wood handle attached to a hammer forged blade. The highly figured, beautiful golden brown handle provides a secure ergonomic grip with an unsurpassed balance. The blade, bolster and tang are one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged from a single billet of the finest German steel alloy. Oliva Elite knives are handcrafted one at a time, using the same techniques that have been the hallmark of fine German made cutlery for hundreds of years. Oliva Elite knives are of heirloom quality and ideal for everyday use in the kitchen.
The Messermeister Oliva Elite Paring Knife, is our most popular style of paring knife. The blade that tapers to a point is ideal for paring, peeling, scraping, slicing and trimming small fruits and vegetables. The Paring Knife is considered to be the 2nd most often used knife in the kitchen and many home chefs have 3-4 in their arsenal. There are many grips depending on the task and they usually involve holding the item by hand when making the cut. Each knife handle in the Oliva Elite knife line is unique and made from beautiful, Italian olive wood. No two handles are the identical, making these knives truly boutique and one-of-a-kind.
