Wild Olive Flipper

The Wild Olive Flipper is a handmade liner-lock folding knife combining practical everyday carry with distinctly South African materials.

It features a 90 mm blade of 14C28N stainless steel, a modern stainless steel well suited to a working pocket knife.

The blade opens using an integral flipper and is secured in the open position by a liner-lock mechanism, providing the convenience of a folding knife with a positive lock for everyday cutting tasks.

The handle is the standout feature. Beautifully figured South African Wild Olive burl is paired with contrasting orange G10 liners, adding a subtle flash of colour between the natural timber and the metal frame. Each piece of Wild Olive has its own grain and figuring, making every knife visually unique.

At approximately 200 mm overall when open, the knife remains compact enough for pocket or pouch carry while providing a useful 90 mm cutting edge.

A genuine leather pouch is included.

Care

14C28N is a stainless blade steel with good corrosion resistance, but the knife should still be kept clean and dry.

Wipe the blade clean after use and apply a light coating of SharpWax or suitable blade oil when required.

Do not soak the knife or place it in a dishwasher. Keep the pivot and liner-lock mechanism clean and free of dirt.

Avoid prolonged exposure of the Wild Olive handle to water or excessive heat. An occasional light application of SharpWax will help maintain and protect the natural timber.
