Lishen Orson 2 A2 - Desert Ironwood - Brass Pins #1

A2 Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handles

The Lishen Orson 2 is a compact fixed blade suited to everyday carry, camp chores, or detail work where a smaller, precise edge is preferred. Its slim profile and natural handle material make it as much a piece to appreciate as it is a tool to use.

Blade

The 4" blade is made from A2 tool steel at 0.125" thick. A2 is prized for its toughness and ability to hold a stable, refined edge, resisting chipping better than many high-carbon alternatives while still being straightforward to resharpen. This makes it a strong choice for a knife meant to see real use in the field or kitchen.

Handle

The 4.375" handle is crafted from Desert Ironwood, a dense, oil-rich hardwood prized for its tight grain and deep, swirling color variation. Fastened with brass pins, the handle adds warmth and durability without excess bulk. At just over 5oz, the knife carries light while still feeling substantial in hand.

Carry

The Orson 2 ships with a leather sheath, offering a traditional belt-carry option that protects the edge and complements the natural handle material. As a fixed blade, there is no lock mechanism to manage - the full construction provides reliable, consistent strength for repeated use.

Made in the USA.
