From Our Founder

"A good bread knife should get through a hard crust without flattening everything underneath it. The long scalloped blade on this Oliva Elite does that beautifully, and the olive wood handle makes it one of those knives you're happy to leave out when bread is on the table."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
