Golden Bough Handmade D2 Steel Drop Point Utility Ladies Knife with Olive Wood Handle & White Leather Sheath | Women’s Kitchen & Camp Knife | BMK-1208

Description

Golden Bough is a small utility knife in olive wood — the pale, honey-and-amber grain that olive is prized for, on a slim handle with flush stainless pins and nothing else. Olive is dense and naturally oily, so it handles kitchen work and damp far better than most timbers.

The blade is a compact drop point utility: enough belly to slice, enough point to do detail work, and short enough to control easily on a board or in the hand.

Built for: kitchen and camp cooking, picnics, foraging, cheese and fruit, and light everyday cutting. A genuinely useful small knife rather than a scaled-down hunter.

Care: D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel — highly rust resistant but not rust proof. Wipe the blade dry after use and oil it lightly before long storage. Wipe the wood clean with a damp cloth and rub in a little wood wax or oil two or three times a year so it does not dry out. Keep the white leather sheath out of prolonged wet and do not store the knife inside it for long periods.

FAQs

Is this knife only for women?
No. It is built on a smaller handle with a lighter, thinner blade, which suits smaller hands and lighter carry — a lot of people prefer that regardless. Buy it on grip size and blade length rather than on the label.

Is the white leather sheath practical?
Yes. It is full-grain leather, hand stitched and moulded to this blade. Like any pale leather it will mark and mellow with handling; most owners think that improves it. Keep it out of prolonged wet and it will last for years.

Is the blade full size and full strength?
Yes. Smaller does not mean lighter duty — same steel, same heat treatment, same hand sharpening as every other knife we make. It is a small knife, not a toy.

Is olive wood good for a knife used around food?
Very. Olive is dense, close grained and naturally oily, so it resists moisture and staining better than most woods and cleans easily. Wipe rather than soak, and it will last decades.

Will my knife look exactly like the photograph?
Close, but not identical — wood is a natural material and every handle has its own grain and colour.
