The Olive Knives Arbor Fixed Blade is designed for those who expect their tools to perform when conditions become demanding. Built for long days outdoors, rugged terrain, and tasks that require dependable equipment, the Arbor combines premium materials, full tang strength, and thoughtful design into a fixed blade that’s ready for serious use. It’s not a knife meant to sit untouched—it’s a tool built to be carried, trusted, and put to work.
The Arbor features a 4.54-inch drop-point blade crafted from Elmax® stainless super steel, offering an outstanding balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Hardened to 60.5-61.5 HRC, the blade is designed to maintain a sharp, reliable edge through extended use while providing the durability needed for demanding outdoor applications. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged appearance while helping conceal the marks that naturally come from hard use in the field.
Olive Knives’ patented Fibonacci grind gives the Arbor exceptional cutting performance and efficiency. 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 chores, the Fibonacci grind helps deliver controlled, efficient cuts with excellent edge stability. The blade spine is also designed to strike a ferro rod, providing a reliable fire-starting option when you’re away from traditional tools.
This version features a High Visibility Orange G10 handle designed for easy identification and dependable performance in the field. The bright orange color makes the knife easy to locate in campsites, work areas, or outdoor environments where visibility matters. Beyond its standout appearance, the textured G10 scales provide a secure, non-slip grip that remains dependable through moisture, sweat, dirt, and changing weather conditions. G10 offers excellent durability and stability, making it ideal for a hard-use fixed blade that’s built to last.
The ergonomic handle design sits naturally in the hand, providing comfort and control during extended cutting tasks while helping reduce fatigue. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the entire handle, creating a strong and reliable foundation for demanding work. Stainless steel rivets securely hold the handle scales in place while maintaining the Arbor’s rugged, purposeful design. A recessed lanyard hole adds a practical carry option without creating unnecessary bulk.
The Arbor comes equipped with a custom-built ambidextrous Kydex foldover sheath featuring secure clip-in retention, brass eyelets, and a drainage hole. Designed for reliable carry and protection, the sheath keeps the knife ready for action while allowing versatile placement options.
With an overall length of 9.27 inches, a blade thickness of 4.5mm, and a weight of 9.14 ounces, the Arbor delivers the strength and capability needed for serious outdoor adventures. Built for the trail, the campsite, and the moments when reliability matters most, the Arbor is made to last.
