We first shared the Soloist on our instagram account on 09/08/2018. It is due for release later this year. The basic specs are 4″ M390 blade, all titanium handle, and the rest of our framelock DNA with a few surprised. We’re excited for this model and have a few ideas for it. Please sign up using […]
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 […]
Exclusive at DLT Trading
A limited number of various Wayfarer 247s with flame color themes is now available at DLT Trading. We haven’t explored this popular finish much before. Huge thanks to everyone at DLT for making this batch a reality. For now these styles are limited to the Wayfarer 247 model but span across all blade shapes. In […]

Artistry in Metal
We are proud to continue working with Andrey Kolesnikov (Russia) on unique pieces. Wayfarer 247s, Swishes, and Buskers have hand-carved Titanium frames. On our linerlocks we can also use Bronze for the scales. Below you find a gallery of some of these knives. Please let us know in the comments if there’s anything you’d like […]
Cast Skull Clip
These brand new cast stainless skull clips are now an option for the Wayfarer 247. We have always wanted to have an alternative to our current clip selection, but something with a little oomph, and think these are perfect. The clip is an original design and cast in a shape that allows good retention and […]
Tanto w/ Matching Sheath
Every once in awhile we like to make something different, or at least new to us. In a way it’s something to challenge us. This particular batch of fixed blades is the latest iteration in that endeavor. We wanted to have that classic style of matching wood sheath and handle. Here we are using Hornbeam […]
Bat Bead
In 2016 we released our first bead, the Skullhunter Owl, to a great reception of both knife and non-knife people. Today we are following up with another bead design, but this time a bat. Bats exist in most cultures and symbolize a number of things including perception, life, death, and rebirth. The bead is $35 […]
Shadow Swish is Back
Just in time for Halloween, the Shadow Swish is once again available for ordering. These are all black variants of the knife achieved using a PVD coating. We can build these in matte (pictured above) or stonewash, both having a very cool dark look. Halloween Edition variants of the Swish include purple, green, orange accents […]
PVD Finish for Wayfarer 247
We are starting to build a batch of Wayfarer 247s with PVD finished blades and/or handles. The option is available on both Classic and Harpoon style blades. This coating is applied via vapor deposition and is extremely durable. As is it is matte and non-reflective and on top of that we can also do a […]
Busker: New Design
We have received hundreds of requests for a smaller model. It’s said go big or go home… so we did, except we went small. The Busker has a 2.25″ blade that’s deployed via front flipper or blade cutout. This means it’s legal everywhere and makes for a perfect EDC. On top of its practical size, […]
Wayfarer 247 3rd Run
We are currently working on the third run of our popular mid-tech model the Wayfarer 247. On the first run we used Elmax blade steel, on the second run we switched to M390 and will continue to use it on this model. In addition to improvements in the way these knives are machined we are […]
New Material: Shred Carbon Fiber
This last weekend at the Pasadena Knife Expo I was able to see and catch up with the guys at Tru-Grit. We have been buying all our belts and other supplies from them for years and couldn’t be happier with the service. On their table I saw a new-to-us material called Shred Carbon Fiber, they […]
Skullhunter Owl Bead
The Skullhunter Owl bead is back! After the incredibly successful first batch of this bead design we had to make more due to the demand. So as of today the beads are back in town! Once again we are proud to collaborate with talented Russian maker/designer Alexander Gagarin. The Owl is Olamic’s mascot and we […]
Long Time Coming
Olamic began in 2010 with handmade Damascus hunting knives forged and built in Russia. We have always been proud of our in-house steel, specifically High Carbon Vanadium Damascus (H.C.V.D.) and its various patterns. In 2013 we expanded into folding knives and began using modern powder metals while our line of hand-forged fixed blades continued to […]
Zirconium Available
We have recently found a new supplier for Zirconium and are finally happy with the quality of the material. Since we started working with it two years ago, a number of sheets we received would be inconsistent once they are ground into and contoured. Because of the difficulty in working with Zirconium, as you can […]
Carving A New Path
5,933 miles is the distance between our shop in Visalia, CA and that of Andrey Kolesnikov in Vladimir, Russia. We are an American knife company and he is a Russian master artist and engraver. We make things that can cut, he makes things that are art. Luckily, there is a way to combine our talents, […]
Halloween Editions
Starting in 2016, every year we build Halloween versions of our custom folding knives. Only one or two of each model is made per year, all have black/orange themes and special logos. Luckily G10 comes in an amazing orange and there are many types of dark materials. Logos on the blades are also one-offs, with […]
When It Rains, It Pours
It might be a cliché but we have found this out for ourselves time and time again and can easily see why this concept is so relatable. Problems almost never arise by themselves and often thing seem like they’re either really great or totally terrible. What separates those who get soaked from those who stay […]
