Make it Beautiful

Designed and built entirely in-house by Jens Ansø and his talented team in Denmark, the AROS is a compact utility folder with a uniquely refined presence. This version, finished in natural titanium with rich bronze anodised accents, blends understated elegance with mechanical precision. The AROS began its life as a sketch on a napkin in a Manhattan bar, and evolved into one of the most thoughtful everyday carry knives on the market today. As Jens’ second fully shop-built knife, it represents a new chapter in his design legacy. The AROS features a precision hollow-ground sheepsfoot blade made from RWL34 steel, riding on Skiff ceramic bearings for a glide-smooth deployment using the discreet flipper tab. The action is crisp, the lockup is solid thanks to a perfectly tuned button lock, and the crowned spine and contoured tang provide ergonomic comfort that reveals itself with every use. The unique two-piece integral titanium chassis incorporates the pivot, button lock, pocket clip and lanyard attachment into one cohesive design, held together with beautifully finished titanium screws. This natural and bronze variant highlights the micro-milled crowned scales, resembling fine metallic fish scales and offering both tactility and visual sophistication.

"Jens is able to blend beauty and function, organic and industrial in a way that's completely unique. The AROS is the embodiment of this gorgeous, mind-bending contradiction." - Mr. Narwhal

Crafted with Purpose

What makes the AROS so special, particularly to our Anso UK customers, is the obsessive attention to detail and the philosophy behind its creation. With an overall length of 6 inches and a featherlight weight of 75 grams, this knife disappears in the pocket while remaining immediately accessible and endlessly enjoyable to fidget with. The milled titanium pocket clip, integral lanyard tube, and elegant bronze accents all serve the dual purpose of function and form, enhancing both the performance and the aesthetic of the knife. It is a knife made to be carried, appreciated, and passed down. Whether you are an established collector, a lover of premium gear, or simply someone who values design-led tools with real-world usability, the AROS embodies everything we stand for at ArcticKnife. This is a knife for those who demand more from their EDC, more detail, more story, more soul.
