The Messermeister Oliva Elité 7” Kullenschliff (Hollow-Ground) Santoku, is a versatile Japanese chef's knife with a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat. The hollow oval shape of the kullens on either side of the blade reduce adhesion and drag during the processes of cutting and slicing. The blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife. Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
