The knife is opened with a discreet flipper tab, which is shaped to integrate naturally with the shape of the Isola.The blade, made of powder metallurgy RWL34 steel, has Jens Anso's typical hand-rubbed finish, which, together with the finely engraved logo, gives the whole design that certain "something".

Anso of Denmark MiniBar with Inlay
Perfect for the key ring or as a small pocket tool
made of titanium
made in Denmark by Jens Anso
Small pry bar and bottle opener for your EDC.
Prying is something you really shouldn't do with a knife. Sure: a really sturdy survival blade might take such a beating without any complaint. But espacially folding knives with thinner blade stock are less forgiving and might break on you.
Recently, small pry tools have become increasingly popular in the EDC scene - Jens Ansø also has a corresponding tool in his portfolio with the Prybar12. But if this is still too big for you, you are welcome to use the Minibar. No, not THE minibar at a hotel, but the new keychain tool from Ansø. This very handy pry tool is also a cap lifter and is of course manufactured entirely in Jens Ansø's workshop in Denmark. The 5mm thick titanium is first blasted, then stonewashed and finally color anodized.
To match, there is a variety of inlays, which can be changed as desired thanks to the screw connection.

Full Custom Card Holder
The choice of the perfect wallet has always caused sleepless nights for EDC enthusiasts. Sure: a snazzy biker wallet looks fantastic, but it has the disadvantage that it quickly reaches a gigantic weight. In recent years, card holders have become increasingly popular. More and more EDC fans are mercilessly thinning down their wallets to carry only the most essential items. And theese titanium card holders seem to be the most slylish solution out there.
With the Matrix Cardholder, Jens Ansø has brought his idea of a modern card holder to the market - it doesn't always have to be leather. Therefore, the Dane resorted to titanium, which is one of the most popular materials in the world of knives and every day carry - robust, beautiful, lightweight and virtually indestructible. Like all Ansø products, the card holder is made entirely in Jens' small workshop in Denmark.
The Matrix Cardholder holds three to six cards, which are held securely without wobbling arround. If you are looking for a cardholder with a twist, don't miss this gem.

Prying is something you really shouldn't do with a knife. Sure: a really sturdy full tang survival blade might take such a beating without any complaint. But espacially folding knives with thinner blade stock are less forgiving and might break on you.
Therefore, small pry tools have recently become more and more popular in the EDC community. Now there is also is such a mini pry bar from Jens Ansø. With its 10 cm the Prybar12 is still compact enough that it could still be attached to the keychain without bothering the user. Those who prefer to carry the Prybar12 in their pocket can do so with the integral pocket clip.
Like all Ansø tools, the Prybar12 is completely manufactured in his workshop in Denmark. The titanium is first blasted, then stonewashed and finally color anodized.
By the way, the name of this tool alludes to the saying that its 12 o'clock somewhere in the world right now! Cheers!

Ansø Carabiner V3

solid titanium, Bronze or Zirconium stainless steel spring
stonewashed finish
3rd generation
Next level carabiner in the 3rd generation!
Stowing away your keychain is a matter of dogma. In the backpack its often not accessible enough and in the pocket rather annoying and bulky. Many reflect on the oldschool way of wearing the keychain with a carabiner hook on the belt loop. But even there are many aspects that make up the perfect keychain. Size, weight, functionality and in the end of course the look.
Jens Ansø has given a lot of thought to the ideal carabiner and has revised his design over the years again and again. Currently the third version is, in our opinion, the perfect EDC hook!
The carabiner milled from single piece of solid titanium impresses with its perfect size, weight and a spring made of stainless steel with just the right amount of tension. The finish is bead blasted and then stonewashed. In addition, the hook is made so that it can be used as a bottle opener as well as for light prying and as a flat head screwdriver. One for all occasions! Always with you as soon as you leave the house.
The manufacturing is done entirely in Jens Ansø's workshop in Denmark, where he personally mills each part most with the latest CNC technology and finishes every piece by hand.

Jens Anso Knife Tool
Made of Titanium
Ball bearings
Different Colours
Small driver
After years of tinkering and trial and error, Jens Anso has released his first knife tool. The practical, compact bit driver serves as a universal tool to disassemble your pocket knife in a few simple steps, for example, if it needs to be cleaned. In addition, the tool looks great on photos thanks to its tasteful design.
The Bit Driver is made entirely of titanium and offers an optimal hand position thanks to the Frag Pattern. The built-in ball bearings not only ensure a velvety smooth rotation of the driver but also offer you great fun. Fidget factor: very high! The holder for the bits fits the common 1/4" bits - Jens Anso himself prefers to use the screw heads of the traditional manufacturer WIHA from Wuppertal.
For the colors of the knife tool you have the choice between satin, PVD black, stonewashed, Cuprum and Kobolt.
Comes without bits!

Jens Anso – Casino
Casino Royale
With the Monte Carlo, Jens Anso has already created a true EDC classic – now the new model Casino follows.The ingenuity of the Monte Carlo (affectionately called "Monty" by us) lies on the one hand in its modern and unpretentious appearance, the non-existent locking mechanism and the resulting legal carrying of the knife in public.With the Casino, Anso once again uses the construction with the two locking springs embedded in the handle scales, which hold the blade but do not lock it. This time, however, the look is completely different from that of the Monte Carlo. Where the Monte Carlo had a cool, industrial charm, the Casino appears much more streamlined and dynamic.The handle of the casino, made of Titanium, appears a little more elegant and round due to its curved shape.The blade is also clearly different from that of the Monte Carlo‘s.The flat grinding ensures optimal cutting performance and the finely tapered tip enables even the most precise cutting work. As with all Anso knives, the Casino uses RWL-34 steel produced by Damasteel in Sweden, which was invented especially for the knifemaking legend Bob Loveless. This alloy is wonderfully suited for the production of blades, because on the one hand it is very resistant against rust, but on the other hand it keeps the sharpness very well.
Grey Titanium / Blue HardwareAs a great color contrast, the 3D milled pocket clip and the backspacer have been anodized in blue, which again underlines the modern look of the knife.Grey Titanium / Satin HardwareThis is the more discreet version with satin hardware.Amber Titanium / Grey HardwareBronze color
Deep Carry Clip
Another innovation compared to the Monte Carlo is the pocket clip. The clip of the casino is less high and allows a deep carry of the knife.Each Anso knife comes with a leather pouch, handmade bei Jens in his workshop.If you are looking for a legally usable pocket knife in a class of its own, we strongly recommend the new Casino from Jens Ansø.

Jens Anso - Monte Carlo Zirconium
version 2.0
Zirconium handle scales
Blade made of RWL 34 Handrubbed
Including certificate
Cool GentlemanThere is hardly any other place in the world where elegance, glamour, high-tech as well as old and new come together in such a spectacular way as in Monte Carlo on the coast of the city-state of Monaco. The legendary Formula 1 race in the time-honored streets of the principality is considered to be one of the most difficult of all and always ensures high excitement in motor sports. But even if you are not a motorsport fan, you will like this little EDC companion.
The choice of name for this great Ansø knife could hardly be more appropriate.
The incredibly clear line and the choice of materials that go hand in hand with it, make the Monte Carlo appear both discreet and noble and sporty and relaxed. The handle is an open construction with handle scales made of brushed zirconium, which is connected on the back by a colored anodized titanium backspacer (gray on this version). The open construction allows you to clean the knife very easily after use, for example if there is dirt on the inside.
For the blade, the veteran and excellent RWL-34 steel was used, which has proven itself over the years as an excellent blade steel. This alloy, invented by Damasteel in Sweden, is produced using a powder metallurgy process and is basically an update to the American and popular 154CM steel. By the way, the abbreviation RWL stands for Robert Waldorf Loveless, one of the most important knifemakers of all time, who loved to use this steel for his blades. RWL-34 has a high edge retention and a very good corrosion resistance so that you can work with food completely harmless.
The real highlight of the Monte Carlo, however, besides the great looks, is the closure technology. Strictly speaking, you don't have a real lock here, but a so-called friction folder. This means that the blade is only held by two detent balls to the right and left of the blade root, which gives you a very smooth blade action and an incredibly defined engagement of the blade.
But what does V2 actually mean?Jens Anso has once again thought about how he can improve the Monte Carlo. The result is new titanium screws, a uniform width of the handle scales, and even better and more precise machining processes. Your Monte Carlo comes with a small leather sheath that protects the surface from scratches when you just want to put the knife in your pocket.
Colors:Antracite Zirconium
The zirconium handle scales offer an exciting surface that also feels great thanks to the brushed finish. The backspacer as well as the clip are made of gray titanium.
