Messermeister Oliva Elite 9-Inch Scalloped Bread Knife

Made for Crust Without Crushing the Crumb

The 9.41-inch blade gives you the reach to slice sourdough boules, baguettes, brioche, cakes, and other large baked goods with fewer strokes. Its scalloped serrations grip tougher exteriors while moving cleanly through delicate interiors, making the knife equally useful for tomatoes and citrus.

At 58 HRC, the German stainless steel blade is built for dependable cutting performance, while the natural olive wood handle gives every knife its own grain and character. The generous 5.55-inch handle provides a secure grip for long slicing strokes.

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
