Historical Context and Legacy
Folding knives have been part of human history since the Iron Age, with early examples discovered in Hallstatt cultures. What was once a simple friction tool has evolved into a precision instrument. The use of olivewood connects this knife to ancient Mediterranean traditions. Olive trees, some living for thousands of years, produce wood that is dense, oily, and naturally resistant to rot. In history, such wood was often used for tool handles where durability was paramount. By pairing this ancient material with D2 steel—a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel originally used in industrial dies—we offer a knife that pays homage to the past while performing to modern standards.
Care and Safety Instructions
To ensure your knife serves you for a lifetime, we recommend the following guidelines:
- Blade Maintenance: D2 steel is "semi-stainless." It holds an edge far longer than standard stainless steels, but it requires basic care. Always dry the blade after use, especially after cutting acidic items like fruit, and apply a light coat of mineral oil periodically.
- Handle Care: Olivewood thrives with a little bit of natural oil. If the handle starts to look dull, rub it with a drop of linseed or olive oil. Never put this knife in a dishwasher.
- Usage: Never use your folder as a pry bar or screwdriver. Folding knives are designed for cutting, and lateral force can damage the pivot or crack the wood scales.
- Safety: Always keep your fingers clear of the locking channel when depressing the backlock to close the blade.
We recommend pairing this knife with one of our specialized sharpening kits to keep that premium D2 edge razor-sharp.
