The Tenable Orion delivers rugged performance and clean, purposeful design in a compact folder that’s built for real everyday use. Its 3.07” D2 tool steel clip point blade features a tough blackwash finish that hides wear and gives the knife a hard-working, tactical look. The clip point profile provides a fine, controllable tip for precision tasks while maintaining a long slicing edge that handles daily cutting chores with ease.
Quick, confident deployment comes from the blade flipper paired with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot, producing smooth, responsive action every time you fire the blade open. Once deployed, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock keeps the blade locked firmly in place, giving you dependable performance through demanding use. The handles are crafted from green Micarta, offering a comfortable grip with a natural texture that feels secure in hand and only gets better with time. The rugged Micarta scales give the Orion a classic field-ready appearance while maintaining lightweight strength. A stainless steel pocket clip ensures reliable carry and quick access whenever you need it. The knife measures 4.08” closed and weighs just 3.5 ounces, making it an ideal size for daily carry without sacrificing capability.
The Orion was designed by knifemaker JB Stout, whose work is known for combining bold styling with practical, hard-use functionality. His design approach emphasizes strength, ergonomics, and dependable performance, all of which come through clearly in the Orion’s confident build.
