BNIB Jens Anso fully custom Neo folding knife with Timascus clip - $1495.00
I worked with Jens over four months to make a half dozen Neo’s, all totally custom with unique colors and combinations he does not normally offer, each also included a 3d-milled Timascus clip for eye catching presentation in the pocket.
This is the last one, done a rich deep purple, with a beautiful contrasting Timascus clip and a light blue back spacer. This is also the new and improved Neo with several great upgrades. Those include rounded and sculpted scales with an amazing, yet functional diamond pattern CNC milling, giving the knife incredible texture and style. They also now sport a steel lock bar insert and overtravel stop. The action, lockup, blade seating and detent are all perfection. It has a medium detent with a nice snap on opening, drops shut with a mild shake, a tad hydraulic in nature like a Chris Reeve.
The knife specs are 3.25” blade of exceptionally heat treated RWL-34 (done is a hand rubbed satin finish), one of my favorite blade steels, made by the Damasteel. Cutting length is 3.375” and it has a beautiful full flat grind drop point with a beautiful hand rubbed satin finish, which takes hours to apply. The OAL is 7.8” and the width is just under ½ of an inch, weight is just about 3.5oz with extensive internal milling and Anso logo milled in.
NOTE: The last two photos are from his studio, but just a note, the blade is not stonewashed, but hand rubbed satin. He mixed them up by accident.
