The Messermeister Royale Elite Offset Scalloped Knife cuts easily through crisp bread crusts without compressing the delicate interiors. The offset feature of this knife provides maximum grip clearance between hand and cutting surface while providing optimal leverage and keeping knuckles out of harm's way. 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.
