Description
The Tenable Orion B1089A5 is a compact everyday carry folding knife built for users who want crisp flipper action, practical stainless blade performance, and a handle texture that adds both grip and visual character. Featuring a 3.07-inch blackwashed 14C28N clip point blade, orange G10 handle with frag pattern, and a liner lock, this Orion blends bold styling with real-world everyday utility.
Designed by JB Stout, the Orion is described as a production interpretation of his custom work, inspired by the SquirrelMaster XL and refined with added curves for a more carry-friendly EDC format. The clip point blade offers versatile cutting performance with good piercing ability for detail work, while the flat grind supports practical slicing across everyday tasks. Built from 14C28N steel, the blade is designed to provide strong corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and dependable daily performance. The blackwashed finish helps hide wear and gives the knife a more tactical working look.
The orange G10 handle with frag pattern gives the Tenable Orion a more secure grip and a stronger visual presence in pocket and in hand. The product copy highlights ceramic ball bearings for smooth deployment and a liner lock for secure lockup and easy one-handed use. It also references both flipper deployment and thumb disk support, though the specifications block provided conflicts with the requested variant details. Because of that mismatch, this content pack follows the requested product title and variant information first and clearly flags the inconsistent supplied spec lines in the QA section below.
