The Overland 8-Inch Chef's Knife is made in Maniago, Italy, with a 16-degree edge geometry. The handle is crafted from ultra-tough canvas micarta.

Messermeister's Petite Messer knives are handcrafted in Portugal and are the perfect weight and size for those who prefer and need small blades. These Japanese-style chef's knives are ideal for slicing and dicing lightweight items and are one-piece stamped, producing a stronger blade.

The thin taper of the Petite Messer knife's blade provides maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish, and meat. The kullens on either side of the blade reduce adhesion and ease the cutting process.

Die-cut from German 1.4116 stainless steel, the razor-sharp Petite Messer knife blade exhibits toughness, durability, and cuts with precision. The handle provides a secure, comfortable grip, making the knife suitable for children ages 8 and up with adult supervision.

Founded in 1981, Messermeister is a leading manufacturer of premium handcrafted kitchen cutlery. Today, the company continues to bring innovation and creativity to kitchens around the world as a family and women-owned business.
