The Messermeister Meridian Elite line of forged knives have a durable POM handle riveted through a full tang. The hand polished Elite edge and spines are some unique features as well.

Messermeister knives are made the old-fashioned way. Each fully forged Messermeister knife is made from a single block of German steel and each segment of the knife is finished by hand. As a result, a Messermeister knife has a handle and tang that are perfectly contoured for the user's hand, a bolster-less heel on Chef's knives allows the entire edge to be sharpened, a sharp edge created by a detailed 3-step finishing process which results in a sharper and smoother edge. All Messermeister knives have a lifetime warranty covering defects, plus free lifetime sharpening and refurbishing.
