The Carving Knife

The Oliva Elité carving knife is built for slicing roasts, poultry, and large cuts at the table or on the board. The long, narrow blade produces clean, even slices with minimal tearing. The kullenschliff dimples reduce surface contact and food adhesion, so each slice releases cleanly. At 200mm it has the reach for a full leg of lamb or a whole roast chicken. The hand-oiled Spanish olive wood handle is warm, tactile, and unique in grain pattern to each knife.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing
• Hone regularly before each use on a honing steel
• Sharpen on a whetstone (1000/3000 grit)
• Occasionally condition the olive wood handle with food-safe mineral oil
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block
