A couple of recent knives...

[Toni Oostendorp]

Here are a couple of pictures of some knives I made recently.

Orbis 4.5 with Graphite Black Cerakote and black/green Linnen Micarta. 1.2510 Steel (O1), Selectively hardened.

Orbis 7 with Graphite Black Cerakote and black Linnen Micarta. 1.2510 Steel (O1), Selectively hardened.

A couple of Bull Sharks, the lighter ones in the group picture have a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish with carbon fiber scales (nasty material to grind):

Those are all fantastic Toni. Your handles are just exquisite looking and I bet they feel just as good as they look.

I can't tell but is there still a slight recurve to the blade on the Bullshark's?

 

[i4Marc]

Great stuff. Love it!

 

[Jos]

Nice stuff Toni!

Kind regards,

Jos

I'm really like your knives but the Orbis in 4" was perfect!!!i think i come to your table in Gembloux for talk about an order

 

[Toni Oostendorp]

Thanks guys!
@ Cashmore: I make them with a very slight recurve, just a hint of a recurve and I make them with a straight edge. A lot of the bushcraft guys want a straight edge for the ease of sharpening in the field and they like a straight edge better for making fire sticks.

@ Eightball1: See you in Gembloux!

 

[Camber]

Thanks for the answer Toni! Again, just awesome work.

Cheers Keith

Really nice designs and execution of such. How does the blade finish hold up?

 

[Buffalohump]

Baboom!! Awesome work all round. The Orbis ones are all stunning but that 7 incher is wild! Must... have!

 

[BladeScout]

Great stuff all of them.
How ever, I like the first more compact one the best.
Very good looking knives - must be something in the water in the Netherlands.

Stunning!Is the orbis a one piece knife like the CRK?Really dig in the orbis7,is there any larger one in orbis sets?
Sincerely,Jiang

 

[Toni Oostendorp]

Kevin, i'm really impressed with Cerakote, it's holding up good when applied properly.

Nextmission, yes the Orbis is an integral, here in Europe we call it an half integral because the pommel is a seperate piece.

 

[nextmission]

Thanks Toni,I have find the answer on your website,it's a very thick hidden tang,not like the CRK's hollow handle.this type of integral make it more comfortable to hold the knife,really awsome knives!

 

[erik markman]

Love Those knives!! One o these days I'm going to pick up one of your Bullsharks!

 

[jurgen]

Fantastic knives buddy!! Love the designs, especially the Orbis series are pieces which shows your outstanding craftsmanship in forging, the one piece blade/guard/tang construction is fantastic!!
Real world user tools all of them !!
