Jens Anso – Casino

Casino Royale

With the Monte Carlo, Jens Anso has already created a true EDC classic – now the new model Casino follows.

The ingenuity of the Monte Carlo (affectionately called “Monty” by us) lies on the one hand in its modern and unpretentious appearance, the non-existent locking mechanism and the resulting legal carrying of the knife in public.

With the Casino, Anso once again uses the construction with the two locking springs embedded in the handle scales, which hold the blade but do not lock it. This time, however, the look is completely different from that of the Monte Carlo. Where the Monte Carlo had a cool, industrial charm, the Casino appears much more streamlined and dynamic.
The handle of the casino, made of Titanium, appears a little more elegant and round due to its curved shape.

The blade is also clearly different from that of the Monte Carlo‘s.
The flat grinding ensures optimal cutting performance and the finely tapered tip enables even the most precise cutting work. As with all Anso knives, the Casino uses RWL-34 steel produced by Damasteel in Sweden, which was invented especially for the knifemaking legend Bob Loveless. This alloy is wonderfully suited for the production of blades, because on the one hand it is very resistant against rust, but on the other hand it keeps the sharpness very well.

Grey Titanium / Blue Hardware
As a great color contrast, the 3D milled pocket clip and the backspacer have been anodized in blue, which again underlines the modern look of the knife.

Grey Titanium / Satin Hardware
This is the more discreet version with satin hardware.

Amber Titanium / Grey Hardware
Bronze color

Deep Carry Clip

Another innovation compared to the Monte Carlo is the pocket clip. The clip of the casino is less high and allows a deep carry of the knife.

Each Anso knife comes with a leather pouch, handmade bei Jens in his workshop.

If you are looking for a legally usable pocket knife in a class of its own, we strongly recommend the new Casino from Jens Ansø.
