The eBay ad said Olivewood, the box says Walnut.
What do you think?

Olive, I reckon.

Lisa, these are from my projects stash. Walnut on the left, olive on the right. Colour is a little off due to artificial light, but you'll get the gist.
Also, for reference and comparison, the Wenger 85mm Evowood line is walnut.
-
Olive, as the wood is a lot lighter that what I've seen walnut look. Gorgeous btw :tu:
-
Thank you both for the input.
Either way, I like the look so it's a keeper....just wish the box matched.
Now that I look at the label, it has 970164FA which means Olivewood...the 70163 is Walnut.

Yep Olive - Lighter - And you don't get grain like that (top photo) on Walniut
Box wrong !!

You should be happier with that box FB - As the code and description do not match
Which means manufacturer's error
And these make a collectible much more valuable!!

:iagree:

That was a fun fact Huntsman, thank you! And thank you Aloha!
And another look because it is so beautiful:

:dd: Real stunner you've got there. Enjoy.

:iagree:

Thank you both! One more glamour shot as I am trying to capture its beauty without my shadow making it darker.

Very nice! Great score Lisa!
-
Yep Nice one FB - It's a beaut and great photees
I have lusted after the WineMaster since they came out - especially the Olive one
But the price is pretty high - And my other half has a very fancy traditional wooden BO with the same design.
So hard to justify.
Still think they should combine the Cheese Knife and Wine Master - Maybe discontinue the current Cheese Knife
Then bring out a WM variant with the cheese blade, as an additional blade !!
And you know me - Never miss a chance to plug the Wiki - We have a very nice WM page made with photos from MTo members

That's a great idea, adding the cheese blade as an additional blade!
I checked the sakwiki, good stuff! :like:

It's already established that it's olive, so I can't add much, but I wonder if you tried smelling it and if it has olive smell. I have only one olive handled knife, but I personally love its nice scent. :)
-
I have a walnut version that is just as light shaded as olive, but the grain of olive can not be matched in walnut :D
I would have preferred olive, but as a final piece at 70% discount, it's unfair to complain :D
-
Gorgeous piece!
I love my walnut version but can't honestly remember why I picked it over an olive one...
I can't wait for the 2019 Winemaster damas LE :D

Walnut:

Looks like beautiful Olivewood to me FB! :cheers:
Nice find! :like: :tu: :tu:

Whoever sold it to you might have had a Walnut one and an Olivewood one and just mixed up the boxes.....I have had knife dealers at gun and knife shows accidentally put a knife in the wrong box when they had a knife model in several different handle materials.
No matter what may have happened you got a beautiful SAK! :cheers:

I did just now try that, and it does smell very, very nice, but I almost think it is a men's cologne smell on mine instead of the wood.

I like your light walnut one. I paid $85 total, no where near your 70% off deal, but it was a day when eBay offered 15% off in actual cash (not eBay bucks), so when I saw it at $100, I knew I'd only be paying $85 which is a decent savings over new.
I can't wait for the 2019 Winemaster damas LE :D
Me too! I'm curious to find out what price it will be.
No matter what may have happened you got a beautiful SAK! :cheers:
Thank you Vicman, earlier in the thread we determined there was a factory mix up on the label. The item number is for Olive, but the word says Walnut, so win-win!
-
Even though I love walnut, I think you might be better off with the olive. Walnut in my opinion can be a bit boring when it's a small piece.
Now oak, that looks smurfing beautiful on a knife, but you don't see it that much. :-[

Yes, I think this one is definitely Olive that I have. And now, on an unrelated topic, I am craving Jaffa Cakes!

Well I'm off to the Fuzzyfarm tomorrow, so I'll have to start another Jaffa in a Jiffy comp! :salute:

Promising loads, but giving none,
only keeps idiots along.

I seem to remember you declined the first Jaffa in a Jiffy and the second... well, that competition hasn't actually finished yet... I think. :think:

Fake news! :ahhh
No, you're right...

Don't worry Mechy - you'll get your special prize... eventually! :tu:
Thanks for reminding me... I'm off to bump that thread now... I can't even remember what exactly it was all about :think:...
