About Olivewood
For centuries, olivewood has been a popular material for crafting knife handles due to its striking appearance and durability. Its golden yellow color, beautifully shaded and exhibiting either a knotty or linear pattern, adds a touch of elegance to any knife.
Renowned for their slow growth in arid, barren soil, olive trees produce wood that is exceptionally hard and dense - surpassing any other European-native wood in hardness. This slow growth results in a highly resilient material that withstands the test of time.
The olive tree's irregular branch structure bestows the wood with unique properties. Each tree's distinct knotty shape yields a one-of-a-kind pattern, ensuring that every olivewood knife handle is truly individual and unmatched. This timeless, natural beauty makes olivewood an enduring favorite for knife enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Due to the use of natural materials, the appearance varies from one handle to another. The images shown are not contractually binding.
