The Olive Knives Lenta Folding Knife is a hard-use folder designed for people who rely on their gear every day. Built with premium materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and a rugged locking system, the Lenta delivers the kind of dependable performance that's equally at home on the trail, at the worksite, or handling everyday cutting tasks. It’s a knife designed with purpose, balancing durability, control, and long-term reliability in a practical carry package.
This version features a 3.1-inch drop-point blade crafted from Toughened Tungsten Carbide, one of the most wear-resistant blade materials available. Engineered to achieve an impressive 71 HRC hardness, the blade excels in edge retention and continuous cutting performance, making it an outstanding choice for users who value a working edge that stays sharp through demanding tasks. The blade utilizes a compound grind with a double bevel configuration and a rugged scratch finish that complements its no-nonsense character. Finished with a precise 18-degree-per-side factory edge, it offers excellent slicing performance while maintaining the durability needed for real-world use.
While this model features the Toughened Tungsten Carbide blade with a compound grind, Olive Knives is also known for its patented Fibonacci grind found on select Elmax® stainless super steel models. Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence found throughout nature, the grind is engineered to optimize cutting performance, edge stability, and material flow through the cut. Though not featured on this particular knife, it reflects the innovative design philosophy that influences the entire Lenta platform.
The Olive Green G10 handle provides outstanding grip and control in virtually any environment. Its textured surface is engineered to handle sweat, moisture, dirt, and changing weather conditions without sacrificing traction. G10 offers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel in hand while remaining highly resistant to wear and abuse. The ergonomic profile includes a finger groove positioned above the pivot, allowing precise control for detailed cutting tasks while still providing the leverage needed for heavier work.
A Compression Spring Bar Lock (CSBL) system powered by twin compression springs ensures smooth deployment and secure lockup. An oversized pivot thrust washer contributes to the knife's tight, reliable action, creating a consistent feel every time the blade is opened. Ambidextrous functionality comes standard thanks to a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, while a lanyard hole integrated through the fastener system provides an additional carry option.
Measuring 7.9 inches overall, 4.7 inches closed, and weighing 4.9 ounces, the Lenta carries comfortably while delivering the capability of a serious working knife whenever it's called into action.
