Classic EDC Folding Pocket Knife with Olive Wood and Micarta Handle

A Practical Tool with History

Folding knives have a rich history dating back to the friction folders carried by Roman legionnaires. Today, a well-crafted pocket knife is an essential piece of gear. With a practical blade length of 70 mm (2.75 inches), this model is perfectly sized for slicing rope, preparing food at the campsite, opening packages, or light whittling. Furthermore, as seen in the product photos, the rear of the handle features a lanyard hole, allowing you to attach a leather cord or paracord for quick and easy retrieval from your pocket.

Solid Construction and Locking Mechanism

The visual appeal of this knife lies in its refined construction. The versatile drop-point blade features a traditional nail nick (Nagelrille) that allows for safe, two-handed deployment. Once fully opened, the blade is securely locked in place by a sturdy backlock mechanism located on the spine of the handle. This prevents the blade from accidentally folding inward during strenuous tasks, effectively protecting your fingers. The handle scales, made of olive wood and Micarta, are separated by sleek metal bolsters, adding a touch of classic gentleman's style. Weighing in at only 95 g (3.35 oz), it is lightweight enough to carry every single day without feeling cumbersome.

Care and Maintenance of Wood and Steel

Although the blade is made from highly rust-resistant 440 stainless steel, proper maintenance will keep your knife performing at its best for years. After using the knife for food prep, simply wash the blade with lukewarm water and dry it immediately. Occasionally apply a small drop of specialized knife oil to the pivot point to ensure a smooth opening action. You should also regularly clean out any pocket lint or debris from the backlock mechanism to ensure it always engages securely. For the wooden handle portions, we recommend occasionally rubbing in a little linseed oil or beeswax. This nourishes the natural olive wood, prevents it from cracking, and beautifully enhances the wood grain.

Important Safety Warnings

Always remember that you are handling an exceptionally sharp cutting tool. When using the knife, always cut away from your body and ensure your fingers are entirely clear of the blade's path when closing it. A folding pocket knife is designed exclusively for cutting—never use it as a pry bar, screwdriver, or chisel. Applying extreme lateral pressure or prying forces can easily snap the tip of the blade or catastrophically damage the locking mechanism.

To complete your everyday carry setup, we highly recommend adding a fitted leather belt pouch to keep your knife secure and a dual-sided pocket whetstone to maintain a razor-sharp edge wherever you go.
