The Olive Knives Arbor Fixed Blade is designed for those who need a dependable tool that can handle demanding environments without compromise. Built for long days outdoors, rugged terrain, and tasks that push both equipment and user, the Arbor combines premium materials, full tang strength, and thoughtful ergonomics into a fixed blade made for real-world performance. It’s not built to stay untouched—it’s built to be carried, trusted, and used.
The Arbor features a 4.54-inch drop-point blade crafted from Elmax® stainless super steel, offering a premium combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Hardened to 60.5-61.5 HRC, the blade is designed to hold a reliable working edge through extended use while maintaining the strength needed for outdoor applications. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged, functional appearance while helping conceal the wear that naturally comes with hard use in the field.
Olive Knives’ patented Fibonacci grind enhances the Arbor’s cutting performance by improving efficiency and control. Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence found throughout nature, this specialized grind is engineered to cut cleaner, move smoother through material, and reduce wasted effort during use. Whether you’re carving tinder, preparing a meal at camp, or handling general field tasks, the Fibonacci grind helps deliver precise, consistent cuts. The blade spine is also designed to strike a ferro rod, providing a dependable fire-starting capability when you need it most.
This version features a high-visibility orange G10 handle paired with stainless steel fasteners for a rugged and functional design. The bright orange G10 scales make the knife easy to locate in outdoor environments, campsites, or work areas where visibility is important. Beyond its standout color, the textured G10 construction provides a secure, non-slip grip that remains dependable through moisture, sweat, dirt, and changing weather conditions. Built for durability, G10 maintains its strength and stability even through years of hard use.
The ergonomic handle shape provides a natural grip for improved control during extended cutting tasks while helping reduce hand fatigue. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the entire handle, creating a strong foundation designed for dependable performance. Stainless steel fasteners securely anchor the handle scales while adding corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. A recessed lanyard hole provides an additional carry option while keeping the handle streamlined and practical.
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 accessible while allowing versatile carry options for different users and environments.
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 wilderness adventures, outdoor work, and situations where dependable gear matters, it’s a fixed blade made to last.
