There have been a lot of new knife company launches over the course of the last few years. Many of these companies have had a short lifespan. It is not easy to launch a new brand in the knife niche or any other.
With that in mind, we usually wait a bit before we decide to cover a new knife brand here at Nothing But Knives until the new company is established. However, I have been watching Orbital’s founder, Eddy Martinez, as he navigated the ins and outs of new brand development through his posts on X over the course of the last few months, and I have been really impressed with his attention to detail and his insistence on next level QA.
With that in mind, I decided to throw caution to the wind, and announce Orbitals first knife release shortly after it launched on November 22, 2024.
Orbital’s first offering to us knife nerds is a 7-inch liner lock folder that is available with three different handle options. Eddy chose Kansept Knives as the OEM for this project which is great. Kansept turns out a quality product.
