The Messermeister San Moritz Elite line of forged cutlery is distinguished by a POM handle molded over a full tang, and a personalization plate. Additional touches include a hand polished edge and a hand-polished spine for comfort.

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.
