The Tenable Orion steps up with a premium edge and rugged everyday capability, pairing modern machining with bold, high-contrast styling. Its 3.07” Nitro-V stainless steel clip point blade is CNC-milled for precision and finished in a durable blackwash that helps reduce glare while masking wear from hard use. Nitro-V brings excellent toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, while the clip point profile offers a fine, controlled tip for detail work and a versatile belly that handles slicing tasks with ease.
A blade flipper riding on a ceramic ball-bearing pivot delivers quick, smooth deployment with a clean, confident snap. Once open, a stainless steel linerlock keeps everything secure, giving you dependable lockup during demanding cutting tasks. The handles are crafted from black and copper carbon fiber, blending a deep, dark base with warm metallic copper accents woven through a layered weave. The result is a striking, dimensional finish that feels lightweight in hand but visually rich and refined. The contoured scales improve grip and control, while a stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure tip-up carry. At 4.08” closed and just 3.5 ounces, the Orion stays compact and easy to carry without giving up strength or capability.
Designed by knifemaker JB Stout, the Orion reflects a focus on functional strength paired with bold, purposeful design. His work emphasizes durability and ergonomics, and this version highlights those traits with upgraded materials and a more refined blade execution.
