OUR STORY
The Daring Concept
Olive Knives was created in New England, USA, by Andre Buys, the innovative creator of the revolutionary less-lethal self-defence weapon, the Byrna (featured on Fox).
The founder bought hundreds of knives but wasn’t satisfied with most. Some had good features, but all the best features weren’t found together in one knife. It was decided to create knives by combining all the best elements whilst blending minimal modern design and state-of-the-art manufacturing with only the best materials and age-old traditions. From this, a surprising amount of innovation was realized. The more than 2000-year-old saying became apparently true: when a design comes together, you get a remarkable product that people will love: “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” – Aristotle.
DRIVEN BY A RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF PERFECTION, WE EMBRACED THE NOTION THAT SOMETIMES, THE ONLY WAY TO FIND EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT IS TO CRAFT IT YOURSELF. Thus, we embarked on a journey to develop a line of premium knives that reflect our values, lifestyle, and passion for quality craftsmanship.
Product Design
Our research and development team dedicatedly brought Olive Knives to life, crafting each blade using the finest materials and precision engineering. This was the phase where our range indeed took shape, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and setting the stage for Olive Knives.
Launched with Expectation
Olive Knives became a reality, launching its very first knife, a fixed blade called Arbor.
As we reflect on this remarkable journey, Olive Knives remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries and developing premium-class knives. From conceptualizing on a piece of paper to launching our very first blade, we are proud to have created something that will truly outlive and outlast - for generations to come.
