Let me introduce you to our Callisto pocket knife model. It has a 3-inch blade made of 154CM steel, paired with a liner lock system. At first glance, it might seem pretty standard, but trust me, the journey to this final design was anything but ordinary. In fact, the original version looked quite different. Let me take you back to the beginning!
As you can see, the blade started out as a modified tanto shape, sharp and distinct, while the handle featured noticeable slopes along both sides with the intention of providing a unique grip and look to the knife. We even planned for a wire clip at first, though we later switched to the sleek, milled titanium clip you see now. It was a real head-turner, with enough personality to make me fall in love with it right away.
This is an interesting piece by Eddy Martinez, one of the founders of Orbital Knives. I have spoken with him about the company in the past, and I like the guy. I enjoyed this behind the scenes explanation of how the sausage, or a knife, is made.
