This launch features a brand new member of the ANSØ custom knife family: SONIC. The Sonic was developed while filming a total of 3 episodes for my Youtube channel.
The Sonic features the trademarked Spyderco opening hole that I am licensed to use. The construction is a bolster lock which is the first time ever that I use this mechanism. The lock has a hardened steel lock insert. The handle/spacer feartures one of my unique lanyard holes that only pierce one handle side and exits in the end of the spacer. The lanyard “tube” is integral to the liner, milled out of a solid chunk titanium. The clip is my now signature 3D milled and bent clip. The blade is full flat ground.
Bladelenght: 3.3” /84mm
Overall lenght: 7.68” /195mm
Blade thickness: 0.152” /3,85mm
This particular proto type features a stonewashed blade in TALONITE with orange G10 scales over a grey titanium frame. The spacer and pivot rings are also orange G10. The titanium screws are anodized amber.
This is the first time in more than decade that I have used TALONITE and it will also most likely be the very last time. It is a very unforgiven material to work with.
If you want to learn more about the design and the design process, that started as a crazy project where I was sketching against time please check out my channel: Jens Ansø
