"Why is olive wood so fascinating to knife lovers? This noble material tells a thousand-year-old story of tradition and elegance. The olive wood pilgrim knife combines natural beauty and robustness.
Did you know? Olive wood often comes from century-old trees in the Mediterranean basin, notably Italy, Spain and Tunisia. Each handle is unique, with its undulating veins and tormented patterns. Olive wood offers exceptional resistance to shock and temperature variations. Its smooth, polished surface prevents the proliferation of bacteria.
Pilgrims needed this knife for several essential purposes during their long journey. It was used to cut fresh bread shared with other pilgrims, slice fruit, prepare quick meals and carry out emergency repairs. The knife represented more than just a tool: a fellow traveler, a symbol of resourcefulness and self-reliance on difficult paths."
