The **Messermeister Oliva Luxe chef's knife 23 cm** is a large, stylish kitchen knife. Its long blade allows you to easily chop large pieces of vegetables, meat and fish. Despite this length, the knife is easy to control thanks to its great balance and razor-sharp edge. It's ideal if you find a standard 20 cm chef's knife a bit too small.

## Oliva Luxe blade: hand polished

The knives are forged in the traditional way from one piece of German 1.4116 stainless steel. The steel is hardened to a hardness of around 58 HRC. As a result, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time when used correctly. Polishing a knife is where many manufacturers cut back to keep the knife affordable. That's where Messermeister excels with this collection. Each blade is polished by hand on a fabric wheel. This gives the knife the sharpest possible edge, so it's razor-sharp straight out of the box.

## Oliva Luxe handle: sophisticated olive wood

The handle of this knife is made from Mediterranean olive wood. The light brown wood has a wild pattern with dark brown lines. With its rounded corners, the handle lies comfortably in hand. Since olive wood is a natural product, the handle for each knife is unique! Besides the fact that olive wood looks beautiful, it is also a very durable type of wood. Because olive trees grow very slowly, the wood has a high density. Olive is an oil-rich wood. This makes the wood naturally water-repellent. Olive wood is also very slow to develop stains and discolourations from food. To keep the handle beautiful for as long as possible and avoid damaging it, it's important not to put the knife in the dishwasher. Wash the knives by hand after use and dry them immediately.

## Messermeister Oliva Luxe: German quality in an Italian jacket

The Messermeister Oliva Luxe kitchen knives live up to their name. Thanks to the razor-sharp blade, olive wood handle and excellent finish, these kitchen knives are both functional and luxurious. The kitchen knives are made and finished by hand in Solingen, Germany. An Oliva Luxe kitchen knife is more than just a tool. It is a luxurious and prominent element in your kitchen. Rediscover the joy of cooking with Messermeister Oliva Luxe kitchen knives.

Bought the 23cm version of the Oliva Luxe as a new workhorse in the kitchen. The feeling of the knife is quite comfortable, it is a bit front heavy, but that is to be expected going above the 21cm range. Edge retention is about what is to be expected of the hardness, that is to say quite good. For context after 3 weeks use in a professional kitchen the blade is still sharp enough to cut tomatoes or large quantities of raw meat. 

To be honest you are paying a bit extra for the olive wood handle and look of the knife, slightly cheaper knives will probably perform similar. No problem for me personally as I value the aesthetics as well as the performance of a knife.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
