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

I typically love integrals. They sure add another level of craftsmanship to a project. Yours is an excellent rendition!
