Meet the sweet spot of slicing. The Oliva Elite 6” Utility Knife bridges the gap between chef’s and paring knives with an ultra-versatile, nimble design. Ideal for prepping fruit, slicing cheese, halving sandwiches, or trimming vegetables, it brings control to everyday tasks. Forged from German stainless steel and finished with a rich, sculpted olive wood handle, this knife delivers edge retention, precision, and beauty in equal measure. A must-have for home cooks who love their go-to blade to look as good as it performs.
Function meets beauty in the Messermeister Oliva Elite 8" Chef’s Knife—your go-to for 90% of daily prep. This culinary workhorse is hand-forged from premium German stainless steel and ground to a fine edge that glides through vegetables, proteins, and herbs with buttery ease. Its highly figured Mediterranean olive wood handle isn’t just a pretty face—it’s naturally antibacterial, warm to the touch, and ergonomically crafted for comfort during extended prep. With flawless balance and enduring sharpness, this chef’s knife turns everyday chopping into something truly satisfying. From weeknight dinners to weekend feasts, it’s the blade you’ll never want to put down—and won’t need to.
As you use your knife, the razor-sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit as the edge contacts the cutting board. Eventually, this means the sharp edge is no longer making direct contact with the food. The knife feels dull. The Shun Combination Honing Steel is the solution. It gently realigns the edge of your blade, bringing the “sharp” back. It offers two honing surfaces: a smooth one for weekly honing and a micro-ribbed one for monthly honing—depending on your usage, of course. A built-in angle guide makes it easy to hone your Shuns with ease and precision. The steel-grey handle looks beautiful with the rest of your knives.

Child-friendly design: The 4-inch blade, made from high-quality German knife steel, is specially crafted for children with a 32° sharpening angle — sharp enough to safely glide through fruits and vegetables, but less sharp than an adult chef’s knife. A rounded tip and extended finger guard protect little fingers, while the hand guard and ergonomic handle ensure a stable, secure grip.
