  Very good Quality

  Prices for German steel are very high

  Lightweight and balanced knife

  The knife weight is very well balanced and doesn't feel heavy at all compared to other knives. It also keeps its blade sharp for a good while. Though you'll still want to sharpen it periodically.

  Very excellent quality knife

  I have used this knife for at least 6 months. It is excellent quality and takes a razor sharp edge if sharpened corretly.

  Excellent German engineering

  One of the best kitchen knives I've ever used. I've had multiples. The blade stays strong and true, don't have to sharpen it very often and cuts through everything like it was barely there

  Holds It Edge, & Very Comfortable To Hold

  Like any knife, I’d prefer to first handle it in person before making a decision to purchase or not.As that wasn’t possible in this case, I took a chance based on the reviews of other users (and YouTube consumers). Glad I did. This 9” version feels great in my hand with very comfortable ergonomics and good balance. The fact that it is lighter than most western-style chef knives in no way detracts from a feeling of solidity or good handling.The steel keeps a cutting edge longer than I expected, and with honing comes right back to being very sharp. As I’ve only owned it a couple of months now (and used it sparingly) I haven’t yet needed to sharpen it on a whetstone, but don’t anticipate any trouble.Based on how much I like this version, I decided to get the 6” version too, and like it just as much. The handles are wonderful!

  Great knife, but came with smudges on the handle

  After using it a couple of weeks, love the knife. My only complaint is that when it came, there were dirt smudges on the handle which is a raw wood handle. It did not look "pristine new", it had clearly been handled by someone with dirty hands...

  Beautiful, Sharp, and Perfectly Balanced

  This is a beautiful knife that performs just as good as it looks. The Messenmeister Oliva Elite 8” Chef Knife is insanely sharp right out of the box and has excellent balance in the hand. It feels comfortable and responsive, making prep work a pleasure instead of a chore. As a professional chef, I’m picky about my knives, and this one has quickly become a favorite. Highly recommend!
