Perfect combination of material and shape

The Anso products must have a level of detail, a deeper quality, a refinement that speaks to him. Sometimes a value that is only seen in use or maybe its hidden so only the owner know about it. Other times it is that single details that makes the whole product work. It can be matter of that perfect marriage of material and shape. Jens Anso does business as Anso of Denmark where Custom knives is the backbone of his production. This is where it all started close to 30 years ago when He made the first knife. Anso's first collaboration with Viper was the SAKURA kitchen line studied together with Jesper Vox. However, the first big success started with ORSO model the extraordinary knife in both performance and aesthetics.
