Magnetic Knife Strip: African Olive 24" Model B

East African Olive (Olea capensis) is a dense and durable hardwood native to the forests of East Africa. Its rich, warm tones range from golden honey to deep amber, often accented by subtle dark streaks that highlight the wood’s natural character. Smooth to the touch yet resilient, it takes a fine polish that enhances its intricate grain patterns. Valued for both its beauty and strength, East African Olive is commonly used for luxury furniture, decorative objects, and high-end kitchen tools, making each piece truly unique.
These knife racks are handcrafted by our friend Steve Preeg in Murrieta, California. Please note that they are made from natural materials, and while Steve works each piece to near perfection, variations such as natural inclusions, small blemishes, and unique grain patterns are to be expected and are part of their character.
