The **Messermeister Overland Chef's Knife 8" OLO-868** is a robust, versatile kitchen knife for outdoor cooking. This is the largest knife in the two-part Overland series with a blade length of 20 cm. Use it for slicing large vegetables such as cabbage or cutting large pieces of meat.

The knife is equipped with what Messermeister calls a '60/40 blade grind'. This is a type of sharpening where the blade is not completely flat-ground. As such, the knife has a high spine. This results in a robust blade with a nice weight. The clip-point-style tip makes precise cutting tasks easy.

Want to carry the Overland Chef's 8Knife 4.5″ on your belt? That is possible with Messermeister's matching [leather sheath](/en/pt/-messermeister-leather-sheath-for-the-overland-chefs-knife-8-olo-868s.htm).

## Messermeister Overland series

Knives from the Overland series are perfect for bushcrafting or on a road-trip through nature. In both cases you don't want to bring a lot of kitchen knives. The answer is a knife from the Overland collection. From cutting vegetables and meat to making feathersticks for a campfire. A knife from the Overland collection can do it all!

## \## Overland series materials

For the Overland collection Messermeister used robust materials that can handle their own. The handles are made from canvas micarta and offer a lot of grip. This is a material that is often used for bushcraft and survival knives. It is made from canvas and synthetic resin. This material offers great grip in all circumstances, even when there is moisture or fruit juice on the handle. Micarta takes over the traces of use, making the knife unique in time.

Messermeister used Nitro Cobalt steel with a hardness of 62HRC for the handles. Another great example of a robust material that can handle its own. Characterizing for this type of steel is the corrosion resistance and sharpness retention.

A unique detail of the Overland series is the lanyard hole at the end of the handle. It also functions as a bottle opener.

## Made in Maniago, Italy.

While most Messermeister knives are produced in Germany, the Overland collection is produced in Maniago. The knife Mecca of Italy which houses many Italian knife brands.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
