7″ Granton Santoku – Oliva Elite

7″ Santoku (Vegetable Knife) with Granton Edge

Granton Edge Santoku knife, also known as a Japanese Chef’s Knife, is a wide blade knife with an overall thinner spine and taper than a French or German style Chef’s Knife. The word Santoku translates as “3 good things,” (virtues) which means it is versatile like a chef’s knife and cuts vegetables, fish and meat. The thin taper (or blade thickness) is lengthened to give it maximum precision when slicing. The spine runs parallel to the relatively flat cutting edge and only curves near the tip to create a broad bladed knife similar in shape to a cleaver. The alternating kullenschliffs (a.k.a. kullens, hollows or grantons) on each side of the knife reduce drag and prevent items from sticking to the blade.

Oliva Elite boasts an exquisite natural Italian Olivewood handle in the popular forged knife line series. The highly-figured, beautiful golden-brown handle provides a secure ergonomic grip with an unsurpassed balance. No two handles are the identical, making these knives truly boutique and one-of-a-kind. The blade, bolster, and tang are one-piece, hot-drop forged from a single billet of the finest German steel alloy. Messermeister continues to employ the same techniques that have been the hallmark of the fine German-made cutlery for hundreds of years by handcrafting Oliva Elite knives on at a time. Oliva Elite are of heirloom quality and simply the best forged German knife.
