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

A2 Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handle

The Lishen Orson 2 pairs a hard-use tool steel with a hand-selected exotic hardwood handle, making it a fixed blade suited to collectors and everyday carry users who want function and natural beauty in the same knife.

Blade

The 4" blade is made from A2 tool steel, finished at 0.125" thick. A2 is prized for its toughness and stability during heat treatment, holding a strong edge while resisting chipping better than many high-carbon alternatives. This makes it a reliable choice for repeated hard use in the field or kitchen.

Handle

The handle is crafted from Desert Ironwood, a dense hardwood known for its rich grain patterns and natural oils that provide inherent moisture resistance. Each handle is unique due to the natural variation in the wood, and mosaic pins add a decorative touch to the construction. At just over 5oz, the knife carries light for its size.

Carry

The Orson 2 ships with a leather sheath, offering a traditional and durable option for belt carry. As a fixed blade, there is no lock mechanism - the full-length construction provides inherent strength and reliability for everyday tasks.

Made in the USA.
