Oliva Elite - 7 Inch Kullenschliff Santoku Knife

The Messermeister Oliva Elite 7” Kullens Santoku, is a versatile Japanese chef's knife with a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat.  The hollow oval shape of the kullens on either side of the blade reduce adhesion during the process of cutting and separating. The blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife.

Features:

• The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
• This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
• The three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
• The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
• Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
• The Knife for Life™ guarantee provides a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
• 100% Messermeister quality

Use and Care:

• 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.
• Oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
