Jens Anso’s design language is unmistakably unique, characterized by a refined industrial aesthetic that is instantly recognizable. The ARN represents the latest evolution in his Shop Built series, marking the third folding knife in this coveted collection. Debuting at Blade Show Atlanta, this exceptional folder is now available in a specialized TAD Edition.

As a modern slipjoint, the ARN utilizes the same sophisticated double-detent system found in his custom Monte Carlo and Casino models. This innovative mechanism provides a secure tactile feel in both the open and closed positions without the use of a traditional lock, ensuring the ARN is legal for daily carry in all but the most restrictive environments.

Deployment is handled via a discreet, ultra-low-profile front flipper. This intuitive interface allows for quick access while maintaining the clean, technical silhouette Jens is known for.

The handle features a precision-machined T-slot inlay system for effortless customization. A single screw retains the ambidextrous 3D-milled titanium pocket clip; once removed, both handle inlays slide out without the need for additional tools. A dedicated titanium insert fills the clip void, preserving the handle's perfect symmetry.

At the heart of this TAD Edition is the integrated inlay system. We have paired our signature topo pattern, laser-etched onto blasted and tumbled titanium frames, with either carbon fiber or green micarta inserts. The carbon fiber variants feature Jens's rich Kobolt blue anodization, while the green micarta versions are accented with a warm bronzed finish. The Anso ARN TAD Edition seamlessly bridges the gap between expert refinement and technical modern manufacturing.

Due to the nature of custom items, slight variations may occur.
