Messermeister Oliva Elite O.T. 6.5-Inch Prep Knife

Messermeister Oliva Elite O.T. 6.5-Inch Prep Knife

Forged 6.5-inch prep knife with German stainless steel and Mediterranean olive wood handle, handcrafted in Solingen, Germany

The Messermeister Oliva Elite O.T. 6.5-Inch Prep Knife is a compact all-purpose blade developed in collaboration with chef Olivia Tiedemann. Its 6.5-inch profile gives you more working room than a utility knife without the length of a full-size chef's knife, making it a controlled choice for chopping, slicing, mincing, and everyday prep.

A Compact All-Purpose Prep Knife

The O.T. Prep Knife measures 6.5 inches at the blade with a 1.63-inch width at the heel, giving it enough surface area for board work while keeping the knife quick and manageable in hand. At 11.5 inches overall, it sits in a useful middle ground for cooks who prefer a shorter everyday knife.

Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, the forged blade uses German 1.4116 stainless steel with a 15-degree ambidextrous edge. A Mediterranean olive wood handle completes the Oliva Elite construction, with natural grain and color that vary from knife to knife.

From Our Founder

"The 6.5-inch size is what makes this knife interesting. It has enough blade for real cutting-board work, but it stays quick and controlled when an 8-inch chef's knife feels like more knife than you need."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
