You will find yourself using the Messermeister Oliva Elite 3.5” Paring Knife daily for a variety of tasks requiring accuracy. This knife has a fine-edge blade that is designed to be an all-purpose knife, similar to a chef's knife, except smaller. The compact blade and smooth olivewood handle will facilitate trimming, peeling and slicing of produce. The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like sharpness.
