Messermeister Oliva Luxe Santoku Kullenschliff 16.5 cm – Japanese chef’s knife
The Messermeister Oliva Luxe Santoku Kullenschliff (16.5 cm) is a Japanese-inspired chef’s knife with good balance and a sharp edge. Its thin, tapered blade profile makes it well suited to precise cutting of vegetables, fish and meat. The Kullenschliff hollows in the blade reduce friction so food does not stick to the blade as easily.
The knife is hand-forged in Solingen, Germany, from German 1.4116 stainless steel, which stays sharp for a long time and resists corrosion. It is bolsterless, which gives good control and makes it easy to sharpen the whole blade from heel to tip. The Italian olive wood handle is ergonomically shaped for a comfortable, secure grip.
