Orbis / Bull Shark

[Toni Oostendorp]

Here is one of my latest blades that I made for one of our Dutch Operators. It's a combination of two models I make, the Orbis and the Bull Shark. To meet the operators needs the handle has some special features. First of all the profile of the handle is flat so that it can be gripped well when wearing gloves. In the middle of the grip I've used rubber, and micarta on the outside parts. This particular knife has a glass breaker, so I added a hardened piece of steel at the end of the grip for removing any remaining glas in the car door frame. To lighten the grip the hardened piece of steel has holes drilled through length wise.

The Blade and guard are integral, forged out of one piece of O1 toolsteel. Selectively hardened and coated with CeraKote Graphite Black.

Kydex sheath with quick detach option. Hope you like it!

Nice design with different textures & materials. I like it a lot! Powerful looking knife, I would say perfect for what purposes you've stated. Thank you for sharing it

Nice design, but I'd be worried about catching my hand on the cap spike. Even by accident moving the hand near it or just resting the hand on top without thinking

That is one BAD A$$ tactical knife! Very nice!
I also like how you design the kydex sheath.

Looks mean and purpose-built like most of your stuff. Very cool.

Very nice. Why is rubber so very rarely used on knife handles, though? How tough is it?

 

[JParanee]

I like it very much

Your integrals are amazing.

I like that new design very much.

Really nice knife! Puts some class into "Tactical".
