I love leather sheath and this one is great. Very comfortable and minimalist. As compact as it can get, and the knife retention is great. Outstanding leather finish with embossed logo.
I’m so HAPPY with the superb quality and laser sharp blade with the AMAZING looking Fibonacci grind is simply STUNNING 🤩 THANK YOU to LuvThemKnives (YouTube) this was an ABSOLUTE AWESOME GAW & THANK YOU Olive Knives I will Cherish this knife for many many years & in case you are wondering the Kydex Sheath is also Awesome and love the nice “CLICK” ensures Safety & Secure fit and the cloth for the belt fit is another great feature . Just not enough words to describe this 1 of a kind Masterpiece of a Fixed Blade - Thanks Mike 👊🏼😜
I received my Olive knife last week. As soon as I picked it up I could feel the quality. It has great balance and is holding a great edge. It is razor sharp. As a professional hunting guide it is great to have a quality every day knife that I can use for everything.
Let me start off by saying that I have a ton of knives, upwards of 200. All different uses and sizes. This knife is the highest quality build and craftsmanship that I own. It seems like it will last a lifetime. Razor sharp, perfectly balanced, and aesthetically phenomenal. I couldn’t think of a better knife to carry!
Just a beautiful and practical design. Very well made, and a perfect size. Super sharp!
Pros:
01) The manufacturing is old-school American craftsmanship. TOP quality.
02) The knife fits the hand like a glove.
03) The G10 scales are Smooth and solid.
04) Has a lanyard hole.
05) Elmax steel! Check!
06) The box it comes in gives an Apple-like product experience: very pleasing to open the box. It opens with a nearly air-tight vacuum with a nice slow opening. Nice accoutrements inside: stickers, manuals, and other information.
07) Premium branding on the top edge of the blade between the scales.
08) Smooth thumb placement on top, no uncomfortable jimping.
09) Beyond the thumb area on top of the blade, it turns into a nice 90 degree cut top edge for easy fire starting with fire steel.
10) The Blade is thick enough for reassurance in use, but thin and nimble enough for more delicate work, with that cool-looking and unique Fibonacci taper.
11) The knife snaps in to the premium Kydex sheath with an audible crisp pristine snap that reminds one of the pleasing sounds of a Rolex bezel.
12) Small sheath drain port. Check!
13) Convex grind - the best do-it-all grind. Check!
14) Razor sharp! Check!
15) Worth every penny.
16) Purchase and delivery were fast!
17) Not too big, not too small. Perfect size.
18) E.D.C capable.
Cons:
1) Seems almost too nice to use, when I have other less nice knives to use.
2) Like a work of art.
3) I want to carry it but not use it because it’s so nicely manufactured. But I know I will get over that eventually.
I WOULD recommend this knife to any knife aficionado. It is simply the nicest knife I’ve ever experienced!
This knife is the Grand Seiko of the fixed blade knife world!
I recently purchased the Arbor knife, and it has exceeded my expectations! The blade is incredibly sharp and holds its edge even after heavy use. The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip, making it easy to handle in various conditions. The packaging it came in was high quality and professional, and the sheath is just as professionally crafted as the knife. I highly recommend this for anyone in need of a reliable, versatile knife.
Love my new Arbor. It looks beautiful, It's incredibly sharp, and it is truly rugged. This knife feels perfectly balanced and comfortable in hand. Pictures don't do the blade justice - it is crazy beautiful steel.
My Arbor was the ultimate tool for a remote bush trip. Everything from processing game, cooking, and splitting kindling, my Arbor stayed sharp.The comfort and sturdy design is essential to what it takes to outlive and outlast in a remote environment.
Like many people who will likely take the time to read this review, I like knives. I've lost count of how many I own. The Arbor by Olive is hands-down the best of them all. Right off the bat, the packaging was phenomenal - very well thought out and engineered. As to the knife itself, the craftsmanship and materials are superb, the weight and balance perfect, the blade sharp enough to shave with. The sheath that the knife comes with is stout and the knife locks in securely. Even still, it's made to make drawing the knife one-handed easy. I can't recommend the Arbor enough, and I look forward to future knives by Olive!
As an avid outdoorsman the Arbor is the all around essential knife for anyone who spends time in the woods, on the water or anywhere versatility and lasting quality makes the difference. Unique design and craftmanship that you can feel the quality before you even pick it up.
It will be past down for generations.
I never realized how much engineering and ingenuity go into one knife. A rugged, but also very mathematical design. I’ve used it on excursions to cut through anything from fishing line, rope, to chopping firewood. All were virtually effortless. Definitely one of the most versatile tools to have for outdoor expeditions
I recently had the chance to test out my Arbor Fixed Blade Knife on a week-long camping trip, and it exceeded all expectations. Right from the unboxing, the knife felt solid in my hand. Thank you Olive Knives!
This knife is as advertised. It’s sturdy, well crafted and does not disappoint! Looking forward to their EDC that’s coming out.
