Prototype Orbis 8.5

[Toni Oostendorp]

For the Dutch Knife Exhibition I wanted to make a prototype of one of the Orbis family. In this case one with a double guard. The Orbis series are of half integral construction but I did not make a double guarded one before, just designed it. The end result is pretty much what I was looking for, the next one will be a bit lighter though.

Blade length: 8.5"
Steel: 01
coating: black gunkote
Grip: Black/Green micarta

Picture time.....

The first grind has me confused, it looks like the plunge is on the wrong side. Very nice knife, I really like your work.
