The Meaning Behind "Outplay, Outlast, Outlive"
At Olive Knives, our tagline—Outplay, Outlast, Outlive—is more than just a slogan; it’s a guiding principle for everything we create. It reflects our promise that every knife we craft is designed to meet high expectations in the outdoors, the kitchen, or daily life.
For those who rely on their tools, consistency matters. Every edge must hold. Every handle must be secure. That’s why Olive Knives are built not as accessories, but as trustworthy companions designed for long-term reliability.
Breaking Down the Tagline:
Outplay – A knife should be more than just sharp—it should work seamlessly with the user’s skill. Whether carving rope, preparing food, or cutting firewood, an Olive Knife is engineered for smooth, precise performance.
Outlast – A knife is only as good as its durability. Our blades use premium materials like Elmax stainless steel and toughened tungsten carbide to resist corrosion, maintain sharpness, and withstand years of repeated use.
Outlive – This is what separates temporary tools from lasting ones. An Olive Knife is an investment in reliability, made to be passed down through generations.
From the backcountry to a professional kitchen, Olive Knives are designed for those who expect lasting quality. When your gear matters, and when consistency is essential, Olive Knives are the dependable choice.
