The MessermeisterOliva Elite 6.5 Nakiri is our variation on a versatile Japanese vegetable knife with a thin taper and nearly flat edge. We designed this knife with a Spanish Point for precision cutting. The raised handle position provides good hand clearance, excellent control and a well-balanced knife.

Features

• The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
• This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
• The three-step, 15 Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
• The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
• Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Do not place in dishwasher.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Oil the wood handle as needed with food-safe mineral oil.
