Messermeister Oliva Elite 7-Inch Kullenschliff Santoku Knife

Handcrafted German Santoku with Kullenschliff blade and Mediterranean olive wood handle, made in Solingen, Germany

The Messermeister Oliva Elite 7-Inch Kullenschliff Santoku Knife gives you a broad, agile blade for chopping, slicing, and dicing with more control than a larger chef's knife. Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, it pairs Thyssen-Krupp 1.4116 stainless steel with hollow-ground kullens that help reduce food sticking and a Mediterranean olive wood handle that makes every knife visually distinct.

Agile, Broad-Bladed Control

The 7.2-inch Santoku blade is wide enough to give you useful knuckle clearance and a generous surface for moving chopped ingredients from the board. Its straighter profile works naturally for controlled chopping and slicing through vegetables, herbs, fish, and boneless meats.

Kullenschliff hollow-ground indentations along the blade help reduce surface contact as you cut, making it easier for sliced ingredients to release. The blade is hand-finished to a 15-degree ambidextrous edge and hardened to 58 HRC for a practical balance of sharpness and durability.

From Our Founder

"A 7-inch Santoku is a very useful alternative to a chef's knife when you want something broad but a little more nimble. The kullens help with food release, and the olive wood handle gives this one a warmth you notice every time you pick it up."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
