The Serpent Strikes: Meet the Orochi
The Orochi takes its name from the legendary serpent in Japanese mythology and its many appearances in anime—embodying the raw untamed power of the natural world. Designed by knifemaker Princeton Wong, the Orochi brings his award-winning vision—recognized at Blade Show Texas 2024 for Best Machine-Assisted Custom Knife—into an accessible everyday carry.
This version features a clip point recurve blade made from Damascus steel in an acid etched finish. Deployment is seamless, whether you prefer the discreet hidden flipper tab—mirroring Princeton’s custom—or the dual thumbstuds. Once in motion, the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot ensures glassy-smooth action every time. A titanium handle paired with Damascus bolster provides a confident grip and refined look, while the titanium pocket clip and pivot ring add premium details that elevate the Orochi.
