the last of the "Raptors"

Ansoknives · Nov 7, 2003

This is one of my Raptors....Just finished it but unfortunately the customer who ordered it had to back out of the deal.

The steel is 1/4 ATS-34 doubleground and double edged. The handle is Stellar Seacow bone. This was the last one of this model that I will make.

Hello, Mr. Anso.
Is there a purpose for the 1/2 hole at base of the blade on the backside?
I am also curious if there is an intended purpose for the extension at the bottom of the knife (window breaker?)
thanks.
BTW, are you selling, and where can I find sales info.
thanks.

That's very cool !

Incredible design. It's graceful and agressive. I love the fit and finish on your knives and that sheath is a work of art as well.

Great job!

Very nice. How come it's your last one?

Thank you!!!....it is the last piece because even though I like the finished result the work involved is really not that exciting...

if you know what I mean...I don´t like making them at all...so I decided enough is enough...

Well the features you speak of on the knife is really mostly just part of a funky design...the end could easyly be used to break windows or what ever you feel like breaking!...you got mail!

Hey Ansø-

Beautiful knife!!

Tell me they're not shutting you down for smithing in Denmark?

Ansoknives · Nov 16, 2003

no shutting down at all....

I just want to open up for new designs and leave those behind I don´t care to make anymore...
