Overview

The AROS is a versatile small utility folding knife perfect for every day carry. The unique chassis construction emphasizes the simple yet complex design language, making it an ideal companion for those who appreciate both form and function.

The AROS is my second "Shop-Built" knife, carefully crafted by my talented team right here in our workshop. The journey of creating the AROS began with some initial sketches made in a Manhattan bar back in February 2023. I've documented the design process in a series of videos on my YouTube channel, so you can see how it all came together.

We made a total of 16 of these with a handle in Black Denim Canvas Micarta and DLC Coated Clip, Spacer & Chassis. Screws are Anodized Amber color.

The AROS is my second "Shop-Built" knife, carefully crafted by my talented team right here in our workshop. The journey of creating the AROS began with some initial sketches made in a Manhattan bar back in February 2023. I've documented the design process in a series of videos on my YouTube channel, so you can see how it all came together.

With the AROS design, my goal was straightforward—to craft a fantastic small folding knife that's perfect for everyday carry. I wanted it to be easy to carry, versatile for a range of tasks, comfortable to use, and feature some unique design details that make it stand out.

Its unique design features a precision-engineered blade and one-piece integral chassis construction for each side, incorporating the pivot screw, button lock, clip, and lanyard attachment point. The full assembly is securely held together with titanium screws on the back of the handle.

I’m excited to reopen the order book for the AROS folder! Over the past few months, we paused orders to implement some thoughtful updates: the blade now features a hollow grind, the knife is equipped with Skiff Bearings, and the button design has been refined.

 

Excellent condition.

About the Maker

Anso, Jens
Anso, Jens

"I have been a knife maker since 1988 and have been full time since 2001. I started making knives in 1988 after reading an article in an old issue of Popular Mechanics and I made my first knife out of a big file using a bench grinder and a drill press as the only powertools. It was big and crude but I was very proud. Since then I have been hooked on knife making. My knowledge in knife making comes from reading books and magazines about knife making, corresponding with other knife makers and not the least learning by trial and error. I also credit the various forums about knives and knife making both for information, customers and friends. I have always had a great interest in craftsmanship and get inspired by all sorts of things ranging from traditional Japanese carpentry to modern architecture. I have a master degree in Industrial Design which has helped me a lot in refining my knife designs. After graduating I decided to become a full time maker and although it has been hard at times I have never looked back. I like being able to do what I like the most and enjoy being my own boss. I feel very fortunate that I can make a living of something I love so much. My workshop is my cave. I love being in the shop surrounded by tools and materials. Being able to do creative work everyday is a blessing."
