This is my first true custom knife. I ordered it a year ago after reading about Jens and his knives in Tactical Knives magazine. This is a small knife that will even ride well in your pocket (in the sheath obviously). The pics are crude (taken with a crappy webcam I use for vid conferencing), but get the idea across.
I haven't used it hard yet, but it has worked well for light tasks. It came very sharp. It makes a good folder replacement due to size and attractiveness. It's so pretty that people don't register "knife" when they see it. My neighbor thought it qualified as a work of art. The sheath rides high on the belt, so it doesn't dangle like most sheath knives. This too helps it "hide in plain sight". Another nice feature is the tang hole. A depression in the sheath fits into this hole, securing the knife.
Jens Anso is a pleasure to deal with. He answers email quickly and is willing to help you figure out the details of your knife. The delivery time was a bit long, but this was not intentional on his part (sometimes, life gets in the way of your plans). His delivery time is much shorter these days. I'd order another one from him (been considering his "Hybrid" model).
Specs: Ats-34 steel
Cocobolo scales
Leather thong with Mastadon Ivory fob
Halftanned leather sheath with red/black lizardskin
covering (wetformed to knife).
Knife out of sheath
Knife in Sheath, front
Knife in Sheath, loop side
