The Messermeister Oliva Elite 6.5-Inch Nakiri Knife is built for clean, efficient vegetable prep.

Messermeister Oliva Elite 6.5-Inch Nakiri Knife
Built for Straight, Efficient Chopping
The Nakiri profile uses a nearly flat cutting edge rather than the pronounced curve of a traditional chef's knife. That shape keeps more of the edge in contact with the board during downward chopping, helping produce clean, uniform cuts through vegetables without relying on a rocking motion.
Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, the blade uses Thyssen-Krupp 1.4116 stainless steel with a hand-finished 15-degree edge and 58 HRC hardness. Its 1.96-inch blade width provides useful knuckle clearance and enough surface area to scoop chopped ingredients from the board.

From Our Founder
"A Nakiri makes vegetable prep feel very direct. The flat edge works especially well for clean downward chopping, and the broad blade is useful for moving everything you've cut straight from the board to the pan."
