Whats new?

How do you make an already great knife even better? You revisit the design, change a few key areas, but don’t change the basic DNA of the knife.

That’s exactly what Jens Anso did with the Orso 2. 

This version of the already great Orso design has been improved a bit in a few places. Instead of a linerlock, a framelock is now used. This is of course equipped with a combined steel insert / overtravel stop. On the one hand, this prevents wear and on the other hand, you can’t accidentally overstretch the lockbar.

The handle scales of the Orso 2 are of course milled from solid titanium. Thanks to the contoured edges, the knife lies very comfortably in the hand. The show side of this version is made of carbon fiber.

Another innovation can be found in the steel: Viper uses the LO-QPM 20-4 steel for the first time on the Orso 2. This is an alloy produced by Lohmann in Germany that is almost identical to the popular M390 steel. Here you get a very rust resistant blade that holds sharpness for a very long time, so you can work with it for a long time without worry.

Typical of Jens Anso’s design is the continuous, flowing line of the knife. If you open the blade with the small flipper tab, you get a continuous line that just looks beautiful. Thanks to the built-in ball bearings, the knife also provides a lot of fun.

The small details typical of Jens Anso provide a visual highlight: the 3D milled clip, the filigree backspacer, as well as the small collar around the pivot screw, round off the Orso 2 visually wonderful.
