David Kam of Orion Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 368 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (theknifejunkie.com/368 (https://theknifejunkie.com/368)).David started collecting EDC gear including knives in 2017, and began his BladeBanter YouTube knife review channel in 2018, after being an active contributor to other review channels. Once David's knife preferences were crystalized, he created Orion Knives and a premium-feel folder called the Solaris, for less than $100.Fascinated with mechanisms and workmanship, David set out to make knives with a high-level of engineering and design finesse. His Solaris model was an early "enthusiast-designed," China-OEM-produced folder, designed around its button lock/flipper action.Orion recently released the Scorpio, a sweet little clip point EDC with a unique look and build around the same button lock action as the Solaris. In an exciting departure from the button lock flipper setup, David has designed and prototyped a full size frame lock flipper with fuller, opening hole and hawkbill/wharncliffe blade called Cetus.The company's logo features the three stars that make up the belt of Orion, the favorite constellation of his three boys. The company's motto is, "Invest in Your Lifestyle."
