The making of the OLFA WORKS Icon
Over the last few months we've been sharing with you the history of OLFA and how OLFA WORKS came about. You can read on the origins here. It's all that history that we brought together into the OLFA WORKS icon.
You've no doubt seen the OLFA WORKS logo at this point, and it clearly states 'Made In Japan' as a reminder of the quality of the product. We've pulled the 'OW' to start of the icon.
Next up we've added in the iconic Mt. Fuji, which is located southwest of Tokyo, Japans capital. Mt. Fuji is one of those images that is so easily recognizable and a natural fit.
Lastly, while OLFA WORKS was introduced in Japan in 2020 and North American in 2024, OLFA began in 1956. It's that almost 70 years of knife making knowldge and experience of traditional Japanese craftsmaship that backs OLFA WORKS. So '1956' is our nod to the history that began with Mr. Yoshio Okada.
