Orso 2 Green Canvas Micarta, Stonewashed the original Orso designed by Danish custom knife maker Jens Ansø is an excellent example of the design principles "where form follows function" quickly becoming the model of the ideal E.D.C. knife for many blade enthusiasts. The new Orso 2 is another great E.D.C. folder. Jens Ansø. The model is an upgraded version of the Orso knife with improved ergonomics with Frame Lock and a blade made of Lohmann LO-QPM 20-4 stainless steel.
LO-QPM 20-4 - modern high-speed tool steel. High wear resistance and high working hardness, about 59-61 HRC. Sourced from Lohmann, the equivalent of M390 or CPM 20CV steel.
Blade - versatile Straight Back type with a clearly marked belly finished with a scratch-masking Stonewashed finish. Despite the thickness of the blade, the high, full flat grind gives excellent cutting properties, combined with extreme durability. A ball bearing system assists in the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with a quick flipper. The flipper consists of a small lever (protrusion) that extends beyond the back of the handle when the head is closed. In the open position, it acts as a stinger, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. The whole thing is locked by a modern frame lock with a steel insert that prevents the face of the lock from rubbing off.
Handle - solid facings of green micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin) and GR5 titanium (Ti6Al4V), bolted to CNC-milled titanium backspacer, which means practical indestructibility of such construction. A right-handed, single-position titanium deep-carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in the tip-up (blade tip up) position. Backspacer with lanyard hole, an elongated hole for a belay or decorative cord.
