Jens Anso is a knifemaker in Denmark with a sense for simplicity. His knives are clean and graceful. I like that… So, I was pretty excited when he decided to send us one of his new titanium carabiners to review. Each is CNC milled in Anso’s shop from .210″ thick titan 6Al4V. They measure to be about 3″ by 1.5″ and weight in at about 1.2 oz. The spring is stainless steel…

Unfortunately, my wife kidnapped by carabiner as soon as it arrived in the mail. She’s been using it to secure her keys to her bag and loves the damned thing. The Anso carabiner is light but strong and the spring is plenty beefy to keep it secured to whatever you might click it on. Above all though, this thing is just the right size… Too often, I find carabiners to be too big or too small. The Anso is perfect.

If you are into such things, check out Anso’s site – It’s currently being updated, but his email is listed. Alternatively, Jens has a great blog to follow.
