Folding knives for different carry preferences
The Wayfarer 247 is Olamic Cutlery’s everyday-carry model. Its current specifications list a 3.5-inch blade, titanium frames and a floating backbar. Depending on the build, blade shapes include drop point, harpoon, Sheepscliffe and tanto. The company lists Bohler M390 steel for the current version; its first run used Bohler Elmax. The Rainmaker offers a larger option, with a four-inch blade, an all-titanium handle and drop-point or harpoon blades. Its listed steel is Bohler M390. The Whippersnapper is another folder in the range. Its Bolsterlock version keeps the original design and size but changes the handle construction to a bolsterlock, opening up more scale-material choices. That version is offered with CTS-XHP, CPM S90V or Damasteel blades. The earlier Whippersnapper run used a titanium framelock and CPM-20CV, so details depend on the generation.
Materials and build options
Across the range, steel, handle materials, blade shapes and finishes depend on the model and chosen configuration. Olamic Cutlery’s Wayfarer 247 specifications describe titanium hardware, a titanium pocket clip and a ceramic detent ball. Its bearing system supports the blade’s opening action, while a hardened stainless lock-bar insert reinforces the locking interface. These are model-specific features, not a standard specification for every Olamic Cutlery knife. Custom builds also offer different handle scales and surface finishes, so buyers can compare the configuration details rather than assuming one material or construction applies across the lineup.
Company and manufacturing background
Olamic Cutlery is a family-owned company founded in California in 2010. It began with fixed-blade knives and added folders in 2013. The company says its fixed blades are made in Russia and that it forges its proprietary HCVD, or High Carbon Vanadium Damascus, there in-house. Some folders may use HCVD made from blanks forged in Russia and finished in California. Its folder production also varies by model: the company describes some models as handmade without CNC, while the Wayfarer 247 uses pre-machined parts in areas where precision matters, with the rest of the knife built by hand.
