The Messermeister Royale Elite Multi-Edge Steak Knife features a fine edge slicing blade with teeth added to the upward curved tip. The main cutting edge is used to slice meat while the saw teeth give added cutting power to the tip when separating meat from the bone. The grip can vary but the knife is usually pulled rather than pushed through the meat. Messermeister Royale Elite combines a beautiful American Walnut Burl handle to a fine German stainless steel alloy blade. Walnut burl features a rich deep brown flared pattern and is prized for its hard, strong characteristic as a handle material. The hand crafted blade is one-piece hot dropped hammer forged German high carbon stainless steel. This vintage style knife is one of a kind and sure to become a treasured family heirloom. Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany with a lifetime warranty.
