Fantastic Build Quality and Materials! I love the transition from the Crowned Elmax Spine to the Flat "ferro rod friendly" spine. Perfect weight and an amazing proprietary grind! I LOVE it!

The best I've ever seen, it's excellent and I like it a lot. It was worth the price, better than Benchmade.

The Arbor quickly became the favorite among the fixed blades in the collection. The size, weight, balance and craftsmanship are hands down the best you can get. Sharp right out of the box and ready for work, and a sheath that gives that peace of mind that your knife won’t fall out even in the roughest environment.

The fit and finish are second to none. Have not used this knife yet, but will be my main carry this summer.

There is no best knife or blade except the one that meets your specific needs. I needed a bushcraft camp knife that was small and light enough to hike with, camp with, hunt with, able to baton, scrape, feather stick, chop, be tough and easy to sharpen, hold an edge, could do notching but still have a 90 degree spine to scrape bark and fat wood and be used as a striker on a Ferro rod. Also for food prep, and be corrosion resistant. Looking for such a knife was laughable and one would need four different knives to meet these demands. Until now. I just tried the Olive Arbor on all the above tasks and it performed from very good to excellent on each task. These were all the typical activities one is faced with hunting, camping, or long hikes. The fit, quality of materials, and craftsmanship are well worth the price alone but is still far less expensive than having a variety of knives that do each job individually. I still love and will use my specialty knives but that “if I could only have one knife” that is the most versatile, I am grabbing my Olive Arbor. Being able to do the job is the only criteria and the standard of value. It is obvious you met your goals and every box was checked off on my list. Thanks!
