Olivewood :
Olivewood is esteemed for its grey, nuanced colour and unique pattern, making it ideal for exclusive knife handles. Not only visually striking, but this wood also boasts superior density and moisture resistance, attributes derived from the olive trees' slow development in mostly barren, arid soils.
These trees are renowned for their twisted, knobby growth, a result of the challenging conditions in their natural habitats. This slow maturation contributes to the wood's exceptional hardness, surpassing any other indigenous European wood types.
The irregular growth results in a distinctive pattern, varying from tree to tree, ensuring each handle is a piece of art formed by nature's own hand.
