Built with premium materials and designed for performance, it’s a piece […]
Silhouette Chef’s Knife Released
Today we released our first proper chef’s knife, calling it the Silhouette. It’s a svelte design with a 7.5″ traditional blade shape, in high-hardness CPM Magnacut with a fine satin finish. The handle for this first batch is maker-exclusive carbon fiber on polished stainless Corby bolts. Each one is serialized and comes with a leather […]
Wayfarer 247CF Livebuild
We have developed a new ordering method for the newly-released Wayfarer 247CF. This is our long-running Wayfarer 247 model, but for the first time with a non-titanium show side. We have opted for various styles of Fatcarbon carbon fiber for its durability and consistency. All 247CFs will have the latest blade shapes in CPM S90V. […]

Please visit this dedicated Halloween 2021 editions page to see what we’re doing this year.
Fedokume
There has always been a number of projects being researched and developed behind the scenes here at Olamic. Like most organizations we have a “skunkworks” or special projects division. It’s always a joy when something comes to fruition and two such joys have always stood out. The first was in the works for awhile and […]
Blade Show West: Long Beach, CA
We were excited back in 2018 when Blade Magazine announced that they are bringing back the west coast edition of their show, dubbed simply Blade West. Of course we signed up immediately. For the first two years (2018-2019) it was held in Portland, OR and in 2020 it had to be cancelled. However the good […]
Change of address
After eight years in our current spot we finally got the opportunity to expand into a much nicer space. Luckily the move itself won't be too dramatic because we're just going from one unit to another in the same building. And so please note our updated address, effective October 1st, 2021: Olamic Cutlery, Inc.650 S […]
Bolsterlock Whippersnapper
We’re getting closer to finalizing the “bolsterlock” version of the Whippersnapper. The design and all dimensions will stay the same, but with the addition of an integrated front bolster. This will allow us to expand our build options to include a plethora of other materials. We’ve worked with such build styles early on, since 2013, […]
First taste: Olamic Appetizer
Our new Appetizer model is a fidget-friendly non-locking folder that’s just shy of 4.5″ overall with a sub-2″ blade. In addition to many of our style and finish options this model also includes a modular backspacer component.
USN Gathering GXII
Our first Gathering was the 5th gathering GV back in 2013 and today in 2021 I can’t imagine ever not attending this show. Big thanks to Larry and his crew for the hard work, consistency, and putting up a great show year after year. Below you’ll find a quick preview gallery of some of the […]

The reason for this is the large variation in how collars are done on all the different models. Usually this rod material is about one inch or slightly […]

Cómo Funcionan los Depósitos Mínimos Según Betzoid Argentina Explica El mundo de las apuestas en línea ha experimentado una transformación significativa […]
Antique Entropic
We came out with the original Entropic finish in summer of 2018, and were the first ones to do so. In the months that followed we worked on perfecting it while keeping it exclusive. That’s changed since then and Entropic is well on its way to becoming a household name. However we never stopped on […]
Beads of a feather
The original Skullhunter Owl (in pewter) was released in 2016 and has been available on and off, since then. We followed up in November 2018 with two new versions of that design. One was in bronze and another in cobalt-chrome, with each being limited to ten (10) pieces. In December 2020 we revisited those and […]
Halloween 2020
We are marking Halloween Olamic style for the fourth year in a row. Only during the month of October we’ll be making spooky themed builds of all our framelock models. This is the first year we’ve been able to do this and that means you’re able to order any of the following: Wayfarer 247 (4 […]
Skullhunter Bead: Back In Stock
Crowd favorite the Skullhunter Owl bead is back in stock once again and available to order from the shop page. As always, stock is limited for the time being.

Linerlocks with XHP steel
We are working on a small batch of our custom linerlocks, this time with CTS-XHP blade steel. So far this is limited to the Wayfarer Classic (4″ blade) model. Contact us directly or fill out the build your own form if you’re interested and want to get started.
Deconstructed Inlays
We have added a new build option to our arsenal. These deconstructed inlays are available only on the Whippersnapper model (for now) and can be created virtually out of any material. Check out the gallery below or take a look in the Build Assistant for more.
Olamic Table Opening
Visit the Olamic Table Our first show to get cancelled was IWA OutdoorClassics and from then it was sadly obvious that others would follow. To bring the knife show experience up to social distancing spec we built The Olamic Table which aims to simulate the experience but online. During times of actual cancelled shows we’ll […]
Whipsnap CC Limited
Following the similarly styled Wayfarer 247 (August 2019) and Busker (May 2019), the latest limited exclusive with CountyComm is the Whippersnapper. This variant is limited to just 24 pieces in each blade style and is serialized xx/24 (on the inside, unlike standard Whippersnappers). The main distinguishing feature is three prominent curved fullers in show side […]
New Lanyard Bead!
We just released a new lanyard bead to go with our latest Whippersnapper model. The idea was to have something to symbolize the meaning behind what a whippersnapper is and so for inspiration we used the popular purple devil emoji: 😈 . For more photos of the end result, more details, and to purchase you […]
Whippersnapper Launched
Today we are launching our latest folding knife, the Whippersnapper. It’s a follow-up front-flipper to the Busker, also designed by Andrey Kolesnikov. This one will be available with American-made CPM 20CV steel from Crucible metals and feature our proven framelock DNA. The pocket clip has been updated to a full 3D design that offers easier […]

Steampunk bead
Our brand new Steampunk lanyard bead is available now. For more details or to purchase visit the lanyard beads section of our store.
Exotic Damascus
One of the most sought-after exotic steels is Bertie Rietveld’s Damascus. Perfected over decades, his steel is unique and offered in very limited quantities. We scored some at Blade Show and used it for a matching set of knives pictured here. You’ll see that there are two different patterns, they are called “Dragonskin” and “Nebula”. […]
Stag Neck Knives
A few times a year we make a few of these neck knives. They are mini fixed blades in a number of different designs. Because there are so many potential styles (shapes) we don’t give them official model names. Each batch has 3-5 designs with each design being limited to about 8 pieces. We very […]
GunKote In-house
After working with an outside contractor for Gunkote application we decided to bring the process in-house. So far we are very happy with the results and can offer quicker turnaround time. We decided to use 2400 Series Gunkote (by KG Industries) after experimenting with a number of other coatings.
Mokume Damascus
Just in time for Blade Show we completed a few knives with a brand new steel. What you’re seeing is our proprietary in-house High Carbon Vanadium Damascus but with Mokume-style layers of copper and nickel. This is a new process for us that took months and months of trial and error to formulate. Just a […]
Blade Show 2019
We are in a new location this year: booth #607. It’s our first time having a booth instead of a table and when this spot became available we couldn’t say no. This year we are planning to officially release the new Rainmaker framelock as well as announce two other new models. If you are attending […]

Art Homage
We have recently added a brand new Hand Carved Series. It is called Art Homage and the idea here is to use hand carving to pay respect to famous art styles, images, painters, sculptors, and the like. The first such piece is a Busker pictured here. It is done in Art Nouveau style, paying homage […]
Wayfarer Compact
The Wayfarer Compact was our second folding knife model, a smaller version of the Wayfarer Classic. We built the first ones in 2015 and have been making it on and off and since. It was and still is a full custom (no CNC) liner lock, with a 3.5″ blade (8.25″ OAL). This model spawned our […]

We wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the entire team here at Olamic. Thank you for the support shown in 2018, for giving us ample opportunity to make awesome knives, and for pushing our limits with your build ideas. To celebrate the season we made two very […]
3.84oz Wayfarer 247
There are many things we can add to a knife but the concept of removing is just as important. A sculpture is just a solid block until the right amount of material is removed in the right places. On this build we decided to take our Funky Holes and see just how much titanium we […]
Compound Grinds
A limited run of compound grind Tanto and Sheepscliffe blades for the 247 is now available. This is a hollow grind and the style is inherited from our original linerlock Wayfarer and Wayfarer Compact models. You can use the Wayfarer 247 build form to reserve yours.
New “Basaltic” Texture
We wanted to have a texture available on titanium that is classy in a traditional way, like checkering, but wasn’t done by machine. This is the result of a number of experiments and we’re calling it Basaltic. Below are some of the first knives with this new texture. It works with a number of finishes […]
We made a sword
Pictured here is the biggest fixed blade that we’ve made. This tanto sword is 19″ overall with an 11.5″ blade. The steel is our High Carbon Vanadium, sandwich’d on carbon steel. Handle is hornbeam wood matching the sheath with an HCVD bolster. This is the only made so far and it sold after being posted […]
New Fixed Blades
We just completed a batch of our fixed blades. These are fully handmade and all feature our in-house Damascus. There are two main types: High Carbon Vanadium Damascus (HCVD) and Nickel Carbon Mosaic Damascus (NCMD). This time we’ve incorporated a number of rare and challenging patterns on Voykar HT, Voykar Scout, Suna, and utility skinner […]
Custom Linerlocks
Our first folding knife was the Wayfarer (now called Wayfarer Classic) released in June of 2013. It was and still is a large (4″ blade) tactical folder. We have gone through many iterations of it, with all being full custom, one offs. It was followed by its smaller variant, the Wayfarer Compact and then a […]
New “Entropic” Finish
Pictured here is Entropic, our finish on titanium. It is available to order now on framelocks and we are still experimenting with how to use it on linerlocks. Entropy is defined as lack of predictability and that’s exactly what this is. Some of the first builds with Entropic are pictured below and we’re very excited […]
Pocket Axe
We wanted to make something fun and have had this idea for awhile. The pocket axe was first shared via a playful giveaway on instagram (link) and then revealed fully (link). After an overwhelming response we knew that it was time to bring this project to reality. It will be released in October, sign up […]
