One day! #AROSWILLCOME 🏆

What a terrific video!

Very nicely done, Jens. Thank you.

You are a rockstar brother. I saw it way back then. There is no limit to your skills and abilities! Glad to call you my friend and brother!

Thank you Sir.

nice video, 'im surprised that most of your important pieces in your collections are fixed blades when your production is mostly known for folders.

I'm really liking this new offering. Seems much like a very upgraded take on the TwoSuns ST 129 which is one of my all time favorite blade shapes. I think you and I could have a very enjoyable conversation. Bob T. was one of my many Guild signers which I from advice from My Mentor Bog Loveless decided not to join. It had become something totally different than what the founders envisioned. Sadly, it led to its implosion. A real Shame on many levels. Much like you, bout many years earlier I saw a magazine with a bunch of nice knives stuck in a log. Several really caught my attention. There was a Jimmy Lile hunter, who later became a good friend, a George Herron, another great friend, and oh boy, that Loveless Stag Dropped Hunter. I was all of about 14 or 16 year old and knew exactly what I wanted to do with y life. Fast forward another 30 years or so of making knives, I was ask to come out from texas to riverside CA. to the Loveless Shop. Mr. Bob and Jim Merritt wanted to talk to me adn ask why so many of my knives look like LoveLess Knives. Not unusual as many copy them. but my answer was a little different I guess. I told them that no matter how hard I tired to not look like a Loveless, when it looked right and felt right, It always came out to be a very similar knife. I stopped fighting it! Well, turned out they knew my work and they were kinda winding down and were looking for someone to come in and carry on so to speak. And the rest is history. Many collectors didn't like the new Loveless Connection knives think I was just trying to make a buck on the Loveless name. What we hadn't told anyone is that these Knives were the beginning of the relationship with the Loveless shop. Mr. Bob didn't think it was any of their business a the time until I moved out there to work in their shop. I was set to stay at Jim's place for at leas the first year. Tragically, my Wife came down with a life threatening Autoimmune disease and I couldn't make the move as I became her home care provider and it took all my time. bot Mr. Bob and Jim understood perfectly, but I feel guilty to this day. it destroyed my carrier. GRRRRR!!! But it was in no way my Wifes fault. She was in bad shape and Family comes first. Period. I pretty much disappeared from the Knife World with no one knowing why. I guess I became rather withdrawn and embarrassed to have Let the Loveless Shop down with such a huge honor. I do feel guilty to this day. I have been watching your work and I am impressed. I am not easily impressed! Good Work Sir! If you should see ken Onion. again, tell him I said Howdy from Texas! I'm sure he has no idea what happened to me.

I received my first Aros today, Ultem, and I absolutely love it! Jens really hit the mark with this EDC design. I have a second Aros coming next week. Keep up the good work and love to you and your family!

Wow, talk about a GRAIL! 😳😲😍🤤🫠

You’re making quite the Buzz 😊

Represent!

Yes, please!! 😮👌❤️

Turn the goddamn video.

👏

Amazing quality of knife and videos, appreciate the effort to share. Cheers.

The handle of the new Anso Sonic seems a bit to square, and it doesn't really look/feel like an Anso knife🤔

Thanks for sharing your hammer collection Jens. Super cool! I've been using hickory for most of mine. Bubinga for one. I'd love to get some osage orange for a few more...

You are an artist, Jens.

… Og min kniv”samling” er på 15-20, hvoraf kun en håndfuld er fysiske, resten ikke virkeliggjort, men et par af dem burde måske.

Jeg definerer mig som samler ved at tingenes værdi er irrationelle, altså som når du siger at en genstand er “cool”, f.eks. den gamle Stanley-kniv. Men de ting jeg samler kommer som regel videre efter en tid, så jeg samler men uden at opbygge en samling. Og ikke indenfor en genre/type, men kun med det fællestræk at deres design og/eller historie tiltrækker mig umiddelbart, og uden jeg nødvendigvis har behov for at forklare det rationelt. Enkelte samlerobjekter eksisterer ikke engang fysisk, men som forestilling i hovedet, f.eks. en tanto med konvekse flader, asymmetrisk tværsnit, og smedet af Yoshihara, selv om det næppe ville ske. Jeg tænker også på steder som en “samling”, især i naturen, som jeg navngiver, f.eks. “Egernporten” eller “Træløberegen”, og holder overblik over dem i mindet, ligesom folk tagger deres frimærker eller mønter frem.

Når du designer for en af producenterne, er hyren så engangs, royalty-baseret eller en kombination?

I got a perfect place for this one... just send it 😂

VIRKELIG spændende serie, der kommer under den “tekniske” overflade af knivdesign, og ind til hvad jeg opfatter som “hjertet” af processen.

No idea if I’ll ever be able to save enough for an actual custom nor be able to find one easy but it would be a dream to have this beauty someday.

Anso and Vox two of my favorites, no wonder GM is so great. Love the blade shape, that little hook on the tip reminds me of my TS129. One of my favorite designs.

This makes me think about the fact I have multiple kidneys and only really need one.... You take organs in trade Jens? 😂

Very sick

Absolutely love it definitely a grail for me I would have to sell a kidney to get it but would be worth it

Jens Anso, man I really like the design of almost all of your knives, they are precisely made and most of them are titanium that I prefer most.

This might be my new favorite design by you! Really nice!

Man the music is always on point 🔥 Love the blade shape 🔥

from drawing to working prototype in less than two weeks is impressive!

❤🔥

This looks awesome.

Wow, i quite like it.

Great stuff!
