The LionSteel B40 Olive Wood is a fixed blade that showcases the harmony between natural materials and modern outdoor performance. Designed for those who appreciate a knife that’s as functional as it is refined, this B40 variant delivers dependable cutting power in a well-balanced, thoughtfully sized package that’s ready for serious use in the field or around camp.
At its core is a blade made from Sleipner steel, a premium tool steel selected for its toughness and long-lasting edge retention. It’s built to stay sharp through extended cutting tasks, so you can spend more time working and less time maintaining your edge. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged, low-glare appearance that helps disguise everyday wear, making it ideal for outdoor environments where function always comes first. With a blade length of just over four inches and a thickness of 3.8 mm, the B40 provides the strength needed for demanding cuts while still offering excellent control for more precise work.
The overall length of 8.78 inches gives the knife a comfortable reach without feeling oversized, and its 6.56-ounce weight strikes a satisfying balance between agility and authority. It feels solid and reassuring in hand, yet remains easy to carry throughout the day. This balance makes the B40 a versatile companion for a wide range of outdoor tasks, from campsite prep to general utility work.
The olive wood handle is where this knife truly stands out. Olive wood is prized for its durability, smooth feel, and distinctive natural grain, giving each handle a unique character. Beyond its visual appeal, the handle is shaped for comfort and control, allowing the knife to sit naturally in the hand across various grips. Whether you’re applying steady pressure or making controlled, detailed cuts, the handle provides a secure and comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use.
Paired with the knife is a high-quality leather sheath equipped with a belt loop for reliable carry. The sheath protects the blade while keeping it easily accessible, making it a practical addition for hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a knife that’s always close at hand. Its classic leather construction complements the olive wood handle and reinforces the B40’s timeless, no-nonsense design.
The LionSteel B40 Olive Wood reflects the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, premium materials, and real-world usability. It’s a knife made for those who value performance without sacrificing aesthetics, offering a dependable tool that looks as good as it works.
