Cool GentlemanThere is hardly any other place in the world where elegance, glamour, high-tech as well as old and new come together in such a spectacular way as in Monte Carlo on the coast of the city-state of Monaco. The legendary Formula 1 race in the time-honored streets of the principality is considered to be one of the most difficult of all and always ensures high excitement in motor sports. But even if you are not a motorsport fan, you will like this little EDC companion.
The choice of name for this great Ansø knife could hardly be more appropriate.
The incredibly clear line and the choice of materials that go hand in hand with it, make the Monte Carlo appear both discreet and noble and sporty and relaxed. The handle is an open titanium construction, which is connected on the back by a colored anodized titanium backspacer. The open design makes it very easy to clean the knife after use, for example if dirt is on the inside.
For the blade, the veteran and excellent RWL-34 steel was used, which has proven to be an excellent blade steel over the years. This alloy, invented by Damasteel in Sweden, is produced using a powder metallurgy process and is basically an update to the American and popular 154CM steel. By the way, the abbreviation RWL stands for Robert Waldorf Loveless, one of the most important knifemakers of all time, who loved to use this steel for his blades. RWL-34 has a high edge retention and a very good corrosion resistance so that you can work with food completely harmless.
The real highlight of the Monte Carlo, however, besides the great looks, is the closure technology. Strictly speaking, you don't have a real lock here, but a so-called friction folder. This means that the blade is only held by two detent balls to the right and left of the blade root, which gives you a very smooth blade action and an incredibly defined engagement of the blade.
But what does V2 actually mean?Jens Anso has once again thought about how he can improve the Monte Carlo. The result is new titanium screws, a uniform width of the handle scales, and even better and more precise machining processes. Your Monte Carlo comes with a small leather sheath that protects the surface from scratches when you just want to put the knife in your pocket.
Colors:Gray
Basically the standard color of the Monte Carlo, a bit lighter than for example the gray of the Chris Reeve knives. This knife has a blue anodized backspacer and clip.
