The Olive Knives Arbor Fixed Blade is built for the moments when your equipment has to perform without hesitation. Designed as a serious outdoor tool, the Arbor combines rugged full tang construction, premium materials, and a field-focused design that’s ready for long treks, demanding work, and unpredictable conditions. It’s a fixed blade made to be carried, used, and trusted when reliability matters most.
The Arbor features a 4.54-inch drop-point blade crafted from Elmax® stainless super steel, a premium blade material known for its exceptional balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Hardened to 60.5-61.5 HRC, the blade maintains a dependable working edge through extended use while providing the durability needed for outdoor tasks. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged appearance while helping hide the marks that naturally come from real-world use.
Olive Knives’ patented Fibonacci grind is a key feature that enhances the Arbor’s cutting performance. Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence found throughout nature, this specialized grind is engineered to cut cleaner, move smoother through material, and waste less effort during use. Whether you’re carving tinder, preparing a camp meal, or handling general field tasks, the Fibonacci grind provides efficient slicing performance and excellent edge stability. The blade spine is also designed to strike a ferro rod, adding a reliable fire-starting capability when you’re away from traditional tools.
This version features an Olive Green G10 handle designed for dependable performance in the field. The textured G10 scales provide a secure, non-slip grip that remains comfortable and reliable in challenging conditions. Resistant to moisture, sweat, and weather, G10 is built to withstand hard use while maintaining its strength and stability over time. The Olive Green color gives the Arbor a rugged outdoor aesthetic while blending naturally into wilderness environments.
The ergonomic handle shape sits comfortably in the hand, providing excellent control during extended cutting tasks while helping reduce fatigue. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the entire handle, creating a strong foundation capable of handling demanding use. Stainless steel rivets securely attach the handle scales, adding durability while maintaining the knife’s clean, purposeful design. A recessed lanyard hole offers an additional carry option without adding unnecessary bulk.
The Arbor comes paired with a custom-built ambidextrous Kydex foldover sheath featuring secure clip-in retention, brass eyelets, and a drainage hole. Designed for dependable carry and protection, the sheath keeps the knife ready while allowing versatile placement for different users and carry preferences.
With an overall length of 9.27 inches, a blade thickness of 4.5mm, and a weight of 9.14 ounces, the Arbor delivers serious capability in a balanced package. Built for backcountry trails, remote campsites, and demanding outdoor environments, it’s a tool designed to last.
